Bill, I spoke with Martin last weekend. He should have a flyer out in a couple of weeks. He is in the process of confirming speakers. Hope that helps,

When will the details about the Holiday Inn room rates and registration be shared. I attended last year so will I get a direct mailing or is there some place I need to start watching to look for

Several list members have sent me photos of 1920's NYC stock cars. Unfortunately, their names have gotten separated from the photos. I hope to be doing kits for these cars soon and want to make sure

There's nothing about this car that says X25. It appears to be brand-spanking-new as of 1945. I would suggest it is a prototype for a standard camp car. It appears to be symmetrical in window

I finally got the hopper finished (golly, forming those grabirons and soldering them on gets tedious!) and the paint is curing. Several list members assured me the C&I did have USRA-type twins, so I

Presumably the car has no class marking because it's in no class, either as a singleton or being highly modified. This is not merely a boxcar in express service: note the steam line and lack of

I don't know how universal it was on the B&O, but steam era B&O paint diagrams that I have copies of show reporting marks and numbers on the center frame in smaller size. In front of me is the N-34

Hello, Is anyone on this list restoring any steam era freight cars? Is anyone modelling Katy steam era in O scale? Does anyone have a PSC 16019 railway post office for sale? Thanks, Bruce

Paul, Atlas O is US O scale, i.e. 1/4" = 1' or 48:1, but 1 1/4" gage. (Sometimes referred to as Ow5). The trucks are clunky, but easily replaced. If you're interested in true 56.5" gage in Oscale,

I've been storing supermarket "Krazy Glue" in a Mason jar with some desiccant. ACC of course sets by polymerization, and one of the effective polymerizing agents is water. In theory if you keep your

To the group, My answerto Ed's question about the paint on the 1958 delivered three bay PS-2 hoppers #1-15 was incorrect. He sent me a scan of the photo in question and it raised some doubts

Ahhhhh, thanks Jerry! That's one of the best photos I've ever seen of a converted ERIE high side gon. I will NOT complain about the 'jiggle' factor. So, Chuck Y, is that good enough for you to do

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I have now posted it to the Files Section, STMFPH. Hope this makes the file accessible for you all. and

Bill, I had Gene and his wife over this evening. They will still be traveling for awhile. I did mentioned you were looking for him. Clark Propst

Maybe it was because these were unusal models? Used to see cars like this all the time before the advent of the covered hopper, a rarity now, I suppose.

Atlas is producing more and more "O" freight cars, like USRA boxes & gons, etc. What scale are these cars being built to? 1-1/4" scale bodies w/7mm scale-gauged trucks? 2-7mm bodies & 7mm

What is the Pgh hopper book? Elden Gatwood

The Atlas 2 bay hoppers are the former Intermountain models, probably with a few updates. Beautiful models. They are 1/4" scale and run on 1 1/4" track. chuck Y Boulder CO

It worked long enough for me to see the larger versions of about five pictures. Here's the plan: If your last name starts with "A" visit the site on June 1 "B"= June 2 "C"= June 3 and so on... Scott

Did you put the reporting marks and car # in tiny figures on the back side of the door? <g> I don't know if that was universal... I noticed the Rail Graphics decal in the Sunshine B&O M-59 has
