Re: perishable traffic patterns
Really interesting data, Charles.
A question: How did you determine the number of interchanges for each load? I understand the numbers of originating ("Orig") and terminating ("Term") loads, but I

Tony:
Thanks for your recent post regarding modeling waybills depicting perishable diversions and reconsignments. As you pointed out, a number of commodities were moved with diversions. A while back

Excellent write-up...
I had taken the NASA explanation at face value, but the rail-to-barge scenario now makes perfect sense.
Thanks for bringing more to light on this interesting

Re: Why MEK instead of Tenax 7-R?
When I worked at a company that sold computers to old people, we got them by the container load, and
each one had at least 4 bags of silica gel in them. The guys that loaded software and shipped them

Re: A large tank as a heavy flat car load
I would make the assumption that railcar was the means of transporting the pressure vessel from the assembly building to the barge. That aside let me congratulate you on a very well engineered build

Richard, thanks.
Sorry, I think there is an error in your description - the VDT was not shipped by rail to Langley Research Center bat by a barge.
Please compare the description "A critical look at

Re: reasonable postage/shipping
Dave, that's why I'm asking here.
I've found plenty of vendors from google searches, but $7 shipping for a $3 item gets expensive fast.
I too ordered an "in stock" item from a well known hobby shop

Is there an extra zero in that quantity? I know the

Re: Why MEK instead of Tenax 7-R?
I guess I should have noted that it's not necessary to use expensive glassware - a plastic desiccator under $10 works just as well. Anything that has a good quality air tight seal will suffice.

Thanks for this Dennis, that’s a helpful start for comparing cars.
I was looking through various records for the CPR fleet prior to 1923 and noticed that the split between the steel frame

Re: Why MEK instead of Tenax 7-R?
Silica gel can also be rejuvenated. Place it in the microwave and give it a 30-second shot. Let it cool and do it again two or three times. It will get HOT and can melt, which I think isn’t good,
