I saw a PSC (I think) "12,000 gallon" insulated tank car model at the hobbyshop today. Is this an accurate model of anything? -- Richard Townsend Lincoln City,

Hi Phil, Keep in mind that midwest railroads also had large fleets of gondolas for coal and other mineral service during the time you mentioned. I have photos of a Iron ore train on the Milwaukee

Any Illinois Central expert out there who could help me with Illinois Central snow plows? I've been able to photograph a few in recent years. Most appear to have been converted from gondolas

the wood roofwalks on the Branchline Yardmaster cars - the Kadee mounting pins and YM holes line up perfectly. <snip> Same holds true for IMWX/Red Caboose 1937 AAR box cars. I glued first one and
