Dunno about the GN but I know but in the 40's the WP did have timetable scheduled freights on the highline. I don't recall the train numbers offhand but on the 3rd sub it was 53/54, 61/62, 77/78 and

I just got a big back order from the print shop, them having fixed the problem. It will take me some time to sort thru it all and get pending orders filled and I am resuming taking new orders now

It's a good question for the GN list Tony.

I'd like to thank you all for the suggestions. In 1951, I have the L&N as having the 22nd largest, North American box car fleet. Or 1.46% if all box cars. So, I guess that I could have two. Clark,

Thanks Tom. Someone must be having a bad day, because I didn't even think I was commenting on the price of tea in China. Just my general views based on years of experience. Dennis

Tony, I'll only speak to the GN side because I do not follow/study the WP in any detail ... It does not surprise me that the GN trains into Bieber were run as extras. But the GN definitely was

I took a different approach when modeling a L&N car. I have a photo taken at a section of real railroad I model with an L&N box car near the edge, only the end of the side with the reporting marks and

The other day a few of us pre-WWII modelers were discussing Howe and Pratt truss single-sheathed box cars. One of these modelers has a 1928 focus and wanted to include some Pratt truss single-sheathed

Aaron -- I'd agree with Ed and Tony that a PS-1 or perhaps a 1937 AAR boxcar would be a most likely L&N representative for a 1953 era layout. But for L&N's "signature" boxcar, consider their

You know Dennis ...... I don't even know what to say to you... * * * * Did you at least grasp the point?! I swear if I held a diamond in my hand you would see my dirty fingernails! So let's just
