We've been looking at the forest without seeing a tree. Chad when will you be taking orders and what's the price? This project got it's start at a dinner 'meeting' between Chad, GN modeler Rich

I have indeed done it, albeit with the Eastern Car Works version of the Dalman, which is styrene and admittedly not the ideal material for a truck, unless it is sitting still. I also added pieces to

I've done the same, and it certainly captures the appearance of the GN's Dalman-Andrews trucks, though perhaps not absolutely accurate (a small fillet of gap-filling CA above where the journal box

Group, In regards to Chad Boas' new GN flat cars, I would like to point out that three reference sheets on these cars have been published by the GNRHS: #48 (67000 series), #76 (66000 series),

When did this car actually come off the roster. I see it in 1948 but my next reference is 1951 and it is gone by then. Mark Sent: Monday, January 23, 2012 8:46 AM To:

Yes, the 52'-8" flat cars are the Seims-Stembles in the 65000-65499 series. I did not mention the 1954 built Pacific Car and Foundry 54'-1" flatcars in the 65500-65699 series since they are longer

Chad likely meant the 65000 (not 56000) series of flatcars that were imported in brass by Cascade Models ages ago. Seims-Stemble Co built these cars in 1928. gary laakso vasa0vasa@...
