I am getting ready to build one of Westerfields SP cattle cars. Anyone who built one that has some modeling tips i would like to hear of them. Removing flash between each side board is a

I'm not sure that we are all talking about the same thing as "freight tariffs". Most of the douements I have seen at the CRRM are ones that pertain to a ceratin commodity or class of commodity,
