Ted - Are these the WAB boxcars that Bob Farris and Cameron Scale Models produced in urethane about 10 years ago? I think they did a wood end car, a steel end car, and an automobile car - all in

While not Martins Mini-Metals has a nice trailer out. Not sure the era but believe it's late '40s or early '50s. Jon Miller AT&SF For me time has stopped in 1941 Digitrax, Chief/Zephyr systems, JMRI

I believe it is no longer available. It was one of a series of postwar 10' high cars that Martin did. While attending Ed Hawkins clinic on these cars at Naperville I looked through Martin's lastest

I see that Classic Metal Works has announced the Fruehauf 32-foot Aerovan Trailer and IH R-190 Semi Tractor, supposedly available in December. See their ad on page 46 of the December 2004 Model

Tim et al, When new, only the 4000s were black/green. After '52, SOME of the 53000s were repainted grren overall(not underframes, I would guess). Cash's website www.eldora.net/lyndon has a couple of

Marty, Back in the day when the original All-Nation was producing O-gauge box car kits, I bought an M&StL green car. Of course, the roof was wrong as were the ends, but the color was dead on as far

Tim: What is the Sunshine kit number? Thanks Paul C. Koehler

Gene I am interested in the roofs. Do you have brake and running board info for them too? Do you know of any published photos of the 53000s in green? I saw a letter in CNWHS V.20/4 that seems to

I would suggest that you contact Craig Presler, c.presler@... , who is the freight car guy at the museum in Noblesville, IN. If he doesn't know for sure he can find out if the cars are

Marty McGuirk wrote Marty, as far as I have been able to figure out the only M&StL cars painted green were the 4000-5398 series built in 1952 -- this is available as a kit from Sunshine. I have not
