Thanks, Kevin. Yes I used the printed walkway. It is a big upgrade over the Roundhouse version. And, yes, some of these cars did get AB brakes but this was long after my period of modeling

Steve, Thanks for the extra photos and details re the hand brake, tank bands and coupler. Very helpful for my mods to the car. I'd like to see a prototype that might have been saved. The IRM in Union,

Now remember when not only choosing car color, but do so with the numbers. As Tim was kind enough to post pictures of two colors, they are also two different batches of covered hoppers. The F&C kit

I built one of using the Shapeways frame. I remember hearing there was also a walkway sold by them, but I was unable to find it, so I made my own. Is there was walkway and does someone have a link to

I forgot, they collected this data with terminations on Class I railroads, so there won't be any US-Canada traffic in this report, just Canada/Mexico to US. Mike Clements Wakefield,

Hello everyone, Does anyone have information on tank car traffic from Canada into the US? Any major commodities? Looking for info from the 1950s. What about crossing From the US into Canada? I have
