Gentlemen,Whatever happened to the reboxx coupler?Armand Premo

Precision Scale has a number of such couplers in its line, not working automatics, but are attached as described, and several coupler pockets for locos that use this type coupler. It can be done with

Aw, com'mon Doc. You're not going to make me spend hours looking for a photo on the web, now, are you. If there is a more descriptive name, I don't know it, but what I mean is the knuckle with the

Trying not to step on Mike's or Jeff's toes, I see an awful lot of photos in the <Files> area - both individual photos, and folders full of photos. The <Files> area has 100MB available and is 95%

The Great Northern's 600 Hart cars in the 190000 series of 1913 were the same construction as the 400 cars received in 1906 but quite different from the F&C Rutland car. The GN Hart cars had fish

I am pleased to announce the following new decal set. It is available right now, in HO and N Scale. GA-01 Boston & Maine GATC 2600 Airslide Hoppers

The old (pre OSHA) rule of thumb used to be that if a ladder was used as part of a regular walkway by workers whose use of the ladder was only incidental to their job, it needed a cage; otherwise it

Hi Ron, Ladder cages weren't mandatory as they are now, but I've seen examples of them in photos dating back to the late 1930s, at least, including some examples on railroad structures. They aren't
