Was there a time when some gas stations received deliveriesdirectly by tank car? I have come across some possible photographicevidence of this practice and several narrative accounts attesting

George Future does adhere very well but it's not an adhesive - it does not literally melt polystyrene as other adhesives (besides CA) do. But acrylic is tough so I can understand that it holds up to

Randy, I think what you might have is a Southern Pacific B-50-8, built in 1913 by Standard Steel Car Co. The photos referenced are not of high enough resolution for me to examine closely or confirm

Excellent George, I be this would work with styrene rivets onto resin. I have a current project to try this with. Bill Welch

Nelson, I have been experimenting using Future (Pledge) as a method to attach resin rivets to styrene on a new project. I have also tried the Future as a glue for thin styrene (.005) in some

Nelson, Folks, Another excellent source of information and photos on the G22 and all other PRR gondolas is the PRRT&HS book "Pennsylvania Railroad Gondolas" by Al Buchan and Elden Gatwood. That book

Randy, No documents available make a case for #51406 as having been a UP car. Now let me ramble on here.... I tend to ;-) UP classes B-50-7, -8, -9, -10 are a mystery and if anyone has information

What price do you want for the two cars and roofs?

Thank you for that information, John. When did the Canadian Pacific stop usingthe arched lettering on the double sheathed 36-foot box cars? The two double sheathed CPR cars in the imageare

Thanks for the information on the G22. As I am building this car (from an F&C kit), would it be possible for me to get on your list of people who get your photos of the G22? My email is
