I have a dial caliper that is HO. It is made by General, and I think I got it through Micro Mark. It is not stainless steel, however. It is some kind of tough plastic. I have not managed to wear

Richard, try cars in this range: 102505-104506 Thanks! Dave Nelson

I'd love to see a scale caliper! Actually, you just need to change the programming chip on a digital caliper. My digital calipers will read out MM or IN -- just need a third display option, HO. Tim

Hi Everyone Many years ago Pacific Fast Mail (PFM) had a Stainless Steel Caliper that gave you both HO and O scales without a Dial or Digital readout. With PFM long out of business needless to say if

Dave, I have a lot of photos of MILW stock cars and may be able to find what you need if you can give me car number series. Richard Hendrickson

You are correct about DIY, for that small wire, if you have the means to build a little pneumatic press, you can likely build it with Bimba cylinders and solenoid valves out of the McMaster Carr

Your right, Ben. I was just speculating on the other long cars he might have referred to. I did not look at all the photos.   Rich Christie

Jon, You may be confused with the X40, X40a & X42. They were 60' long, longer than any other freight cars during that period.   Rich Christie

I'm making a CAD model of the 1926 series of stockcar (the one with the drop doors). The model is a non-commercial, free contribution to be used w/ train sims. I have a few photos but all of them

Dennis, "Multi slide" was the needed search term, it appears. Lots of leads turned up; thanks much for that. (One lead listed machines for sale, one of which weighs 9,000 lbs. Ye gads!) Likely,

Scott, To nit pick <G>, it was not 76' but 74'9" coupled, 72'3" over strikers, 70'6" inside length. See: http://prr.railfan.net/diagrams/PRRdiagrams.html? diag=x30.gif&sel=box&sz=sm&fr= for a

Oops, those pictures are X32 and not of X30! Jon Miller For me time stopped in 1941 Digitrax Chief/Zephyr systems, JMRI user NMRA Life member #2623 Member SFRH&MS

Looking at the pictures it appears they made two or three of them. Photo 9 shows what appears to be at least 3 cars. Jon Miller For me time stopped in 1941 Digitrax Chief/Zephyr systems, JMRI

Scott: I wouldn't call the X30 experimental. It was Purpose built to service the American LaFrance Fire Truck Plant in Elmira NY. It lasted into Penn Central. There was only one. The Erie also had end

Looks like there was only one, see http://prr.railfan.net/freight/classpage.html?class=X30 Don Burn

I was looking at pictures over at Bill's Pennsy photo and he posted some pictures of a X30 Experimental car. http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=11405178 Anybody have anymore
