The Rutland had assigned vans up until 1960, then the assignments were abolished. It was a sticking point with the employees in the 1960 and 1961 strikes that finished the Rutland. As a Rutland

I'm confused. Why would you need to estimate the number for the purposes of this list? It's an empirical question. The rule book tells you when you need a cab and the schedule (including extras)

I've poste to my blog a two-part description of an additional "signature" freight car I added to my fleet, a Westerfield PRR G22 gondola. If you're interested, here are links to the two

Ed, I always use Aleens gold for my running boards both wood and etched. Never had any problems with it breaking as it is flexible. Also good for crew, passengers, windows and livestock for freight

On my 14'x16' layout I have five GP7 diesels and five cabooses. No need for more than that. To determine the number of freight cars on the layout I measured all the sidings - industrial, yard, etc.

In the first half of the 10th century the caboose was the office for a conductor and was assigned to him. He considered it his home on the road, so he lived it in, slept in it often when away from
