CB&Q Series 92400-92799. FM. 53' 6" Steel Flat Car. Class FM-14A. Built 1952 by CB&Q Havelock. I know someone who is looking for CB&Q decals that will do this car. He bought the resin

Might it be cross kitted or started using a Carey loco works boiler casting?

Not a steam era photo, but the press in this photo is obviously well used so probably dates from the steam era. It would make a noteworthy load for a flat car. I think these CB&Q

OK, Richard, no offence taken, but now you've piqued my interest. What sort of hydraulic press is that piece from? Have you got a picture of the entire machine? I'm sure others are curious also. CRZ

I've just spent most of the morning digging around on the HOSEEKER.net website, and cannot come up with anything this thing could be. Things on this loco that do not "fit" any of the various old

My desktop computer is sick and I am using my laptop, but I don't have Jim's email on this one. Jim, could you drop me a note so that I get in touch with you. Thanks, Steve Hile shile@...

That's true, but our eyes perceive less light as we age -- it may diminish as much as 80% by age 80 in many people. So brighter lighting really does make a difference.

Correction, I meant to say color temperature,not wavelength. K is color temperature.

All- Aristo-Craft was one of the main importers of "New One" so Eric might be correct. The crew members have been very loyal to the #234; they should be rewarded with a new assignment or get a nice

Sorry. That was supposed to go only to Mr. Redden. Richard Townsend Lincoln City, OR

Mr. Redden, I gather from your post about possibly 3D printing gondolas that you can do 3D design and printing. Assuming that's true I am wondering if you might be interested in doing a flatcar load

Lumens is a measure of light intensity. Kelvin temperature (K) is the wavelength of the light. They are separate characteristics. Nelson Moyer

In the December 1920 Tank Car Tariff, the operator is listed as Delaware River & Union Railroad. A quick comparison of the 1920 and 1936 Tank Car Capacities suggests that many cars only had their

If I may, 5000K is the upward end on the lumens, but how I have my entire layout. This was the advice of a MRR photographer. Above that 'blue' kicks in. -- Kevin Macomber NGMC (717)

I agree with Kevin. I have tried, over the past 15 years, to ensure that the lighting I have on my layout (a blend of 3500K and 5000K lights) is the same over my workbench and paint booth. This

Being I'm in the paint business, the biggest influencer honestly is the lighting above your work. Lumens and color will alter most. Some of the lights will totally change the look. I saw the one

It’s all in good to say just pick any color, but to be close you have to have a color to start from and a recommendation of that color is helpful. I for one ask for color recommendations as you

That first one (composite) was a standard standard steel design & Erie had them.There's a photo of an Erie car rebuilt with steel sides in the Kline/Cullotta book. Also a crude drawing of the Erie

In reality l don't think locomotives got displayed in parks because their flanges were deep and detail a mite clunky. The big CN loco in Sarnia Ontario certainly has authentic wheels and bolt heads.

Only F&C produced the 41 foot "War Emergency" gondola -- in quotes because the T&NO bought a LOT of these after the war too. F&C makes the original car as well as the
