Hi Mont, The methods you use when using Scalecoat are the same ones that I have been using since the first time I got my hands on a bottle of the stuff. The one ounce floquil bottles fit my Paasche

It was a design issue. The concept for the truck was faulty from the beginning. The Allied Full Cushion truck took the poor concept of the Fox truck another step in the wrong direction. Like the

List, Anyone know anything about the caboose in the photo below? : http://www.trainweb.org/seaboard/SAL/SAL49880_(Pre-WWII_Caboose).jpg The photo was taken on June 15, 1914... and due to the looks

Thanks Tim. If I count right, the 1/1945 ORER showed Southern with 175 covered hoppers (listed as cement cars). I would guess in Fall 1946 they were tied up hauling cement. You didn't see any

Now that we understand the dynamics of truck hunting better, it would be interesting to determine if Allied trucks were suseptible to this due to their design, or if it was some maintenance

Hmmm, I've got a bottle that was opened and has since been untouched for at least 5 years. Perhaps I ought to crack it open and see what kind of condition it is in! Chris Barkan

In June, 1956, Pullman-Standard completed their 75,000th PS-1 box car, which happened to fall within a Cotton Belt order. The car was specially lettered as "SSW 75000" for the occasion, which was

Tim and List: What did they look like? I'm assuming DS with wood underframe and trussrods. Anything available that might make a good model? Was there a "standard" 36' DS boxcar with trussrods?

Tim and List: My roster is dated 3/24/1939. I have no boxcars listed in numbers you provided. I have V9 class vents 89000-89899 and V10 79000-79999 listed in the numbers you provided. Can you

For those interested in the 1890's period, two new products may be of interest: The Devil and the White City, a novel that weaves the building of the Colombian Exposition with the exploits of serial

I've uploaded a jpg photo of a Timken roller bearing demonstration or publicity boxcar. It's in the folder marked "Timken TRBX 88." It came from an acquaintance who's looking for additional info on

I'm guessing since this question is about a locomotive it is somewhat off topic, but does anyone have any further information about the Bachmann USRA 2-6-6-2. If this IS off topic I apologize and

Bill, When I was custom painting I tried to remove the clear finish from a brass caboose, big mistake (for me). I too would use Scale Coat of brass. I have a cardboard box that's about a 12" cube

BILL AND GROUP: ON BRASS MODELS I USE OIL BASED PAINTS. IF THE CLEARCOAT IS THIN, EVENLY APPLIED AND SEEMS TO BE ADHERING WELL IT CAN BE YOUR BASE COATING. JUST WASH THE MODEL IN SOAP AND WATER
