Looking at the photos, drawings, and roster in Frank Ellington's Santa Fe stockcar book, I think there are five variations in end detail among as many classes of Pennsylvania Car Co. stockcars. Note

Thanks, Phil! I am sure that it would work. I have used a variant of that on some cars, where I have subtracted weathering off with my blaster after putting it on too thick, or just to give a baked

Shawn, I can tell you with some degree of certainty that your desired GATC tank cars (as well as other GATC tank cars) will be produced by Speedwitch Models. The AC&F type 4 tank car will be produced

It is not widely known, but the so-called "Georgia Group" i.e. Atlanta & West Point, Western Railway of Alabama, and Georgia Railroad had examples of these cars. Many were rebuilt with steel sides

Mike: Here's one link- http://www.railroad.net/articles/railfanning/airbrakes/index.php Try a Google search on "railroad brakes". That's how I found this link. Doug Ortman wrote:

Thanks Andy. I have 9 kits coming and hopefully most will be good. They must have modified the underframe from the samples Richard got. Jon Miller AT&SF For me time has stopped in 1941 Digitrax,

I Like CDS's dry transfers for The Cotton Belts Lightning bolt heralds. Very opaque, and the white is very white. Sometimes their older sets have problems in transfering the smaller dimensional data,

Can anyone point me to diagrams and operating theory for any of the brake systems? TIA. Mike Turner Simpsonville, SC

Richard I got one of each from Andy, and they have different ends. The K brake ends have no toe holes and a narrow end grab iron on the right side. This end matches the Sk-Q car, except the doors they

Shawn, you DID call MicroScale's attention to the problem, didn't you? They may be unaware of a production problem. SGL

I got a phone call from sarah at Intermountain, and she said that they had shipped out ATSF K brake versions of the stockcar with the AB body- the difference being the underframe has pads for the

Jon, AFAIK the bodies are all the same - at least, the pre-production samples I got were all the same, and I've built models with both K and AB brakes. The locations for the AB brake mountings are

Eldon, I'll try to keep this from rambling... tried once and cancelled the first try! I accidently got the effect you are looking for. I had a decorated IM PS-1 which was painted BCR over BCR

Well Charlie I think I am with you, but if so, I am not sure what, if any, prototype car I can build with the kits I have in hand. I have three kits from Andy that are suppose to be AB brake cars.
