Re: Related question: Vallejo equivalent to Polly Scale Light Freight Car Red
Interesting story about Model Air Rust 71.080. I first encountered it when I ordered Acrylic Box Car Red which was brand new back about 2013 from Micro Mark. I received 4 bottles of Vallejo Model Air

Re: Aerial Photo: U.S. Navy Brooklyn Yard (1937)
Very interesting idea.... we could take photos of our layout, attach the bottom banner (not hard to create, white font on grey background), then we have a new WPA photograph!

Re: Rapido USRA double sheath and single sheath boxcar question
You can’t find any in the 60’s or later because they just didn’t last that long unmodified.
