Brian: An intriguing comment, but it doesn't tell us much. Are you saying the stock car is better than the reefer, or vice-versa? Which was better, and in what ways might be helpful to those of us

Thanks Ben. I was thinking about putting the question on the Pennsylvania website. What prompted this question is something on the History Channel that shows a drawing of a 6-4-4-6 so I wanted to

Schuyler, Any idea what all those empty gons were for? Is that what the crated machinery arrived in? I also note that a previously stated axiom remains true. We have one NP box car in the photo

Brian, I have two of the Intermountain ART Reefers that came RTR so I can not comment on the fit of parts problem but the castings on these two models appear to be up to or current standards for

Good friend gave me a USRA 40' Frisco Double-sheathed car for the layout. I was looking through photos and see many were rebuilt with plywood sides and steel sides. How long did they last with

Larry: I have given this a lot of thought, too, and had intended (eventually) to move forward on something as well. Here are my ideas to be thrown into the mix. They should be all metal. While I

Denny Anspach makes many good points, and concludes with: But, Denny, maybe you should see what Larry comes up with. That might be the best source for that bulk buy. SGL

These figures, though certainly useful, are a bit misleading with regard to the original question. The SHPX tank car fleet grew a lot after WW II, and the cars that accounted for the increased size

Right. I want the hose you supply, Larry, to fit the hanger you sell me. And not to find that the Kadee hose is .001" too large, so I have to ream out the hanger. Or the Cal-Scale hose is .005
