Eric, I liked your photos, with their stroke frames, giving them a “formal portrait” look. Great job! Jay Styron

Guys; Rapido has been very responsive to our pointing out of details like the rebuilds with Hutchins roofs and new doors. Not everyone chooses to get things right. Kudos to Rapido! Elden

I've tried email and telephone. No answer. Jerry Michels

That's an Owens-Corning Figerglass tank. Looks like a 20,000 tank OC sold their 3 plant in 1995 to Fluid Containment. One of those plants was in Mt Union PA. Nice Slide. Rich Chapin Basking Ridge NJ

Thanks guys. I severely misworded the original question. I don't have one of these minikits, but was wondering if the Alternate Standard hopper was similar enough dimensionally. Now I see that it

It's the lead off a bottom bouncer cut in two. If you aren't a Walleye fisherman you can google it ; )) Clark

Again, I don't think so. These hoppers are based on the USRA cars. The USRA car diagram is here PRR GLd were USRA cars E-93171 - class GLd E-93171 - class GLd The AAR standard offset cars diagram is

It's called 'Embellishing' ; )) 78 holes for real adding in the sill steps. Still have a few holes to drill in the underframe for brake rigging. Done for today, time for a beer or two...Finishing

Thanks to Mel Perry for pointing Irv toward me. I am not a frequent reader of any Groups.io. I do not yet have a copy of RP CYC #35, so I don't have the photo Irv referenced. So I will do some

Good day fellows See this blog post for more info https://elgincarshops.blogspot.com/2021/08/new-kit-from-yarmouth-model-works.html -- Pierre

Nice progress, Clark. Still looks like a very clean build. Todd Sullivan

The recently announced USRA Single Sheathed Boxcar has a change at ther request of PRR and B&O modellers Those 2 roadnames will now come with a Hutchins Roof Updated PDF

Bob, The car in the photo, Rutland 378, was one of 101 PS-1 box cars, series 300-399 & one replacement car no. 223, built 8-56 in P-S lot 8300 at the Pullman-Standard Michigan City plant. Each car
