The tanks were filmed in black and white. They were a light color, grey appearing in the movie and were in a freight train. Thanks much for the reply. Jan Podganski

Fenton, Walters catalog (HO) lists the part under New England Rail Service. Ken Montero

The color of the tanks may help. In chemical service they tended to be orange or blue, less carefully painted with minimal markings since they were freight cars in that context. In milk service they

Thanks Tom, Looks like they will be, like the NERS stuff not available. Hopefully some one will buy the dies from Don so more can be made. Luckily I have lots of the passenger stuff but don't have

Jim, Besides http://www.bowser-trains.com/ I've got two good groups for you. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vintageHO/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yardbirdtrains/ Both groups have

While watching Pentrex's Cab Forward video, I saw a NCL tank milk car in the train filmed in the bay area. I don't think milk would have been shipped from the east to the west coast, and I can't

Jim, I also had a problem getting Bowser parts. A good place to start looking is Bowser (http://bowser-trains.com/index.htm). They're very cooperative, although their stock of steam engine parts is

This is my serious steam era freight car, though I have done a few more modern items. I am using an Intermountain composite gondola to build one of

That's true, but I've always been curious about the GN 2500's exposed frame members along the bottom sill, similar to many single and double sheathed rebuilds. Other aluminum cars built around this

Good morning group, Can anyone tell me what is a good color match for MDT yellow sided reefers? I would prefer a Floquil color or mix, but others will work. Thanks, Rick Dietrichson Wilmington, NC

Hello Everyone, I am sorry for possible cross-posting, but I sit back and view alot of groups on line myself, so hopefully if you read this on another site, forgive me! Hello everyone. I hope I am
