There is also a photo of WIF 106 on the City of Vancouver site, which gives a slightly better view of the end. When I saw it, I right clicked it and 2 or 3 days later bought a set of the Champ decals

Champ at one time made decals for this car. Many, many, many years ago before I knew any better I started decaling an Athearn box car with it (hey I was 15yo) and stopped. So I have half the set on

There's a photo of WIF 106 in MRG 3/89, p 47. Duryea underframe, huh? What an unusual car! If Steve can be persuaded to make these, I'd like a WIF. Al Brown, Melbourne, Fla.

I have sent scans to Steve of the two WIF photos I have plus a scan of the Champ decals I have for this scheme so he could see the color of the log or herald. I did this two years ago and have

I need to decal some GN Boxcars. Are there any known issues with this set? Microscale Great Northern (GN) -- Stock# 87-185. I figure someone on here has used it and can comment. Thanks. Brian J.

Dave, the kit uses an Intermountain tank from their 8,000 gal. AC&F Type 27 model. Richard Hendrickson

Richards comment reminds me to ask: I recently acquired a Speedwitch model of a NATX tank car, 8000 gal, using a plastic tank. Was wondering: Do you know whose plastic tank went into that kit? Dave

oh, I'm in for the Tobin as well as a number of others. Need to get another job to pay for all these meat reefers. Just thankful, there are no Armour schemes or I would be in big trouble. Rich
