For Sale: My Future Projects drawer istoo full. I have the following HO undec kits for sale. Opened forinspection only. Atlas 40' wood reefer #20 001 465.Formerly Branchline. Have 2. $19.00

For several years I have been wanting to replace the tweezers I have with sharp point. They are not beefy enough resulting in the points actually slipping past each other. This only happens of course

Brakewheel, brake housing, granted not a bunch of parts, but my premise is that they have done only three freight car types Bill Welch

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Guys; There are some folks that tell me that this is so ANY of the cars can be offered (at least by BLI) at this price point. Different business model

If I had to guess, the car was *rebuilt* by Vulcan at some point. The car does have most of the Gla traits (end support style, end sill profile, exterior top eave) except for the PRR taper side posts.

I've used Microscale Krystal Klear "white glue" for years forrunning boards and it has held up very well to temperature flexing problems. I boughtsome Canopy Glue and it appears to be the same stuff

There are a number of compromises in Kadee PS-1 models. Hand brake wheels vary, but not the hand brake HOUSINGS. Trucks are often wrong for a prototype. They make only one running board. They make

Schuyler I totally agree. Gould/Tichy's innovative tank car kit containedwire for the hand rails... Come to think of it, so did the ancientAthearn blue box tank cars! :-) My chief pet peeve with

Thanks for the photo link, Dennis and Jack. The hopper in question does seem to follow a GLa end support structure. Is it just me or does the Vulcan Iron builder seem odd? I know they built many
