I'd love to have breakfast and go to the show with you Bill. Send me an airline ticket :) Clark Propst

List, Does anyone have contact information for Ron Morse, photographer of Southern Pacific steam era (Mid-1950's) railroad equipment? Snail or e-mail address would be fine. Thanks, Shawn Beckert

Simulating the hose with flexible material is easily done in O scale. PSC sells kits that contain all the parts. For those of you using rigid hoses, you can come up with something that will give by

The quality is much better. The castings are better than any previous Intemountain car, including the PFE reefers. Thinks like the brake rod is much finer, it comes with wire brake pipe and rods

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

Any chance you could give me the name of the company that made these? Thank you Larry Jackman Boca Raton FL ljack70117@... I was born with nothing and I have most of it left

Folks, somewhere at home I have some injection moulded plastic HO air-hoses which come complete with separate brackets. I'm sure they are a US-made product (certainly mine came from a UK-based US HO

Good morning all, I have a buddy that just purchased a Proto-2000 USRA 0-8-0 switcher that apparently is a match for the 0-8-0's that the Lackawanna used. He is asking if anyone knows who makes
