Let me reclarify: Scalecoat Oxide Red and Floquil Zinc Chromate Primer are good for B&O bright oxide red, painted on B&O boxcars 1945 to about 1964 Your question was about B&O freight car brown,

B&O memos call out ferrous oxide, but since B&O did not hire college graduates in those days (troublemakers, all), B&O could have meant a ferrous oxide as general term, and the pigment they purchased

Correct. The instructions in the kit state that it was built by the CM&StP Rwy between 1900-1915. gary roe quincy, illinois _____ From: STMFC@... [mailto:STMFC@...]

It's a Milwaukee Road, after I started lettering a fleet for the Great Northern, I came across an MR from the '50's with plans for this ore car which showed that it's a Milwaukee Road ore car. Larry

Milwaukee I think.   Cyril Durrenberger

Jim, You're absolutely right when it comes to the freight train passing you on the track (an oft discussed example on this list being our listmeister's "test" with the Branchline boxcar), or even,

Jim Betz wrote Excellent. I hope you'll buy my Branchline 41' box cars when the times comes. Of course you might have to fight the Collectors -- you know, the guys who think an improperly stamped

From somewhere in the cobwebbed recesses of my brain, I think that the Gould/Tichy wooden ore car is from a Great Northern prototype. Tim O'Connor

Not a chance, Eric. The kit represents a small wooden ore car, essentially a 19th century design. All of the Santa Fe ore cars including the Ga-23 and Ga-51 classes, were all steel and much

I was not aware these bodies were a foot too short. I have to admit I am willing to live with this as I think the look of the models captures the look of the cars. Bill Welch

Bill, The bodies on the 1922 and 1928 Sunshine kits are a foot too short in length. And of course while the IM body is the correct length it has an intermediate height to the eaves of 12'9" (not

I am not sure what you are referring to here Greg. Do you you mean in length or height? I have built all of these kits in multiples and they appear dimensionally correct to me. Can you say more. Bill

Bill, Not in height but in length. It seems that Bruce Smith uncovered this in our building of FGE cars on the PRR Pro list some time back. Greg Martin Bill replies: I am not sure what you are
