Jeff Aley says: OK. So you are saying that 5.02% of the "away" box cars were UP. From what you are saying...and you may have more to add...I don't see why. We know that the "away" UP box cars are

Not a trick question, but that was the info under the photo I saw. Interesting. When I ran a search got info on the trucks under the Red Caboose CGW car. Thanks, George Courtney

Is this a trick question? You mention 1934 CGW cars but provide no number series. CGW may have had other cars built in 1934 but the CGW 1923 ARA cars were built in 1930-31, and 33. They were not X29

According to http://www.steamfreightcars.com/modeling/proto%20kits/x2923aramain.html, the CGW ARA cars had a unique side sheet arrangement, so no... and BTW, X29 is a PRR car class and is written

Saw a prototype pic tonight. Any other roads have the same or a very similar boxcar to the 1934 CGW X-29? Thanks, George Courtney

Hi Jim, I have replaced the wheelsets in all my Kadee trucks with Reboxx double-insulated wheelsets and they work great. You might be able to adapt them with resistors for that purpose, but since

Mike, The report I have (a spreadsheet that I believe is from Tim Gilbert), shows the following (among other things): Roadname, # of boxcars, # of boxcars at home, # of boxcars away,

Since I decided to listen [ well...read ] for a change before engaging my typing fingers regarding frt car distribution, I have managed to acquire a good bit of recent opinion about this

Hi, So I'm sitting here thinking "I don't remember any one mentioning the variations/pre-dispositions that are caused by what orders the shippers are trying to fill" ... and when. By that I'm

Correct, and it was Chris Clune who tooled them. And there are more to come.... Richard Hendrickson

When I was at Intermountain Chris offered to sell us several cars that were "just about tooled." Marty

Without going into any details I would be shocked if there wasn't an injection molded plastic model of a B&O wagontop car on the market within the next 12-18 months. In fact, I'm shocked there isn't

I seem to recall a mention that many, if not all, of exact Rail's products are from tooling made much earlier, perhaps several years previous, intended to be "spec" tooling. If so, that may explain

Bob Sadly, Chris Clune is off the market but you can still pay vendors like Intermountain to do custom tooling. It's been done many times! I don't have the dough but if you think there's a business

Interesting! John Greedy didn't even mention this is his EXR errata post. Photos* of cars with "Type 1" roofs (long rib cars from EXR and Ribside) show rivets in some cases, and spot welds in most

too bad because Fox Valley Models already has three major body styles out already which include the HO car type. I really would rather see a B&O Wagontop or PRR Round Roof 40Ft Cars (we already have

Armand - Maybe you could post this in the files sections, as I have been trying to find this layout for quite a while myself. Thanks, Paul Greenwald

Not to mention the H33, GLE and X26C with diagonal panel roof announced by F&C this past weekend. Rich Orr
