I don’t know if I would 100% trust them as a reference. I can’t speak for the RI but they have some information wrong about C of G freight cars on their site. Todd Horton

I was unfamiliar with that site, Al. Thank you. I'll bookmark it for future reference. However, looking at their list of box car decals: http://www.protocraft.com/category.cfm?Categoryid=20 I couldn't

Hello, I have an F and C kit the running board in the kit is completely smooth. Does anybody know what kind of running board it is suppose to have? I am guessing they put the master in upside down

Have you tried the Protocraft web site? They make O scale decals but their descriptions for the series of cars and paint schemes are very accurate. They have three sets for Rock Island from

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before (particularly if this question has been asked ad nauseam), but I can't figure out how to search the archives in the current Yahoo web interface. I've

Another thing to be aware of are the ends. Bx-27's had "square" cornered ends. Red Caboose and IMWX are the only 2 plastic manufacturers that do that car. Rich Christie

The HPCX 12xx series refrigerator cars you mentioned are ex MDT steel underframe cars built in the 1920s. They were probably purchased from a scrap dealer or other railroad as no record of direct

No, your are right not all are true, but then they were there and we were not. :-) -- Jon MillerFor me time stopped in 1941Digitrax--Chief/Zephyr systems, JMRI UserNMRA Life member

That's good news, Pierre. I'll be in line to buy some. – Andy

Hi Ben, I think there would be a market for a Royal Type F brake regulator. I've been representing them on cars with a method Richard Hendrickson showed in some of his articles and his Westrail

Look carefully, there are yokes attaching each pair of oxen. Also I would guess that what the picture says is true and not to be second guessed 100 years later. -- Jon MillerFor me
