Wasn't these 2 kits based on the series of articles that Rail Model Journal published circa 1997 about oil distributors? I remember some of the articles had scale plans of oil distributor

It’s important to understand there are multiple ICC reports than can provide quite detailed history on a railroad’s rolling stock and fixed plant. I’ve uploaded four examples* to Google Drive

Fantastic. I spoke to them at Springfield last year and they said they had no firm plans to reintroduce the kit. It wasn't something they were sure they would bring back, or something along those

I thought that I tried to reply to this one, but I don't see it on the website. I've been having issues with Earthlink, again, this week. The Rock island car is one of their all aluminum express

Larry, I now have a concrete example of what the ICC documentation for rolling stock would look like. Tony Thompson mentioned the "53" section, and I dug around in my backlog of documents. Here is
