Shawn, instead of throwing your money away on this (which is available as a Sunshine kit) you can throw your money away on the forthcoming W&R single sheathed box cars, which are coming in several

Bill, Where did you see the announcement for E8 "B" units? I can't find it... Tim O'Connor <timoconnor@...> Sterling, Massachusetts

Ted & All, I goofed! I apparently came in on the a-- end of the conversation about drill bits, etc. and jumped to an answer before reading the previous digest. Sorry for the confusion and

Guys, I see Challenger has a couple items of interest hitting the shelves now or very soon: http://www.challengerimports.com/Pages/2479.html This is the Northern Pacific "War Emergency" Boxcar.

Now Tim, you KNOW I'm not going to comment on what the big "W" is doing, but, as far as P2K is concerned, here's what's coming.... http://www.lifelikeproducts.com/proto/gp60locords.htm As far as

Ted & All, Sorry about the off-topic post, but I believe it will be beneficial. Ted, go to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy a little Dremel cordless "Mighty Mite" drill (about $25.00). Then call Micro

I said #61 or larger. I meant #61 or smaller (61-99) You heard about the German that made the smallest drill possible to make and the Swiss who drilled a hole thru it? 8>) Thank you Larry

All the holes I drilled using my dremel and #77 drills are proper enough to accept wire handgrabs -- and I hardly ever break one. While I certainly agree speed is important for precision work, such

<<OTOH, maybe the cooler business IS the way to go, when was the last time you heard a good rumor about them? :>)>> LifeLike got into the cooler business after one of their employees was using a

You can not make a drill motor that will run fast enough to properly use a #61 or larger drill. SFM is the rule Thank you Larry Jackman Bill Welch wrote:

Bill, The only odd thing I noticed is that many months ago, Walthers showed model numbers and roadnames for the forthcoming Proto2000 GP60 release. Now they only show an undecorated model and it

You mean we have to throw out all our models that we drilled the thousands of holes into, because it isn't possible? Dang. How frustrating. Tim O'Connor <timoconnor@...> Sterling,

Folks, Let's not let this one get out of hand - what LL said (some time ago) is that "new tooling" on rolling stock kits was on temporary hold due to slower sales/higher costs than projected. As I

I'm sure Bill knows the key to success with a power drill is the quality of the chuck. My Hazelton drill press has an Albrecht chuck, which would hold a #99 drill bit (if there were such a thing!)

I've just sent a photo I have to the STMFC files area of a WP 40' boxcar (I believe it was built in 10/51). The file is named WP0230. It's in BCR/small feather motif and was photographed in Fremont

out Tim: Reportedly this was printed in the recent issue of Model Railroading magazine under the 2002 trade show review. Anyone have a copy of this issue handy so they can tell us exactly what it

No, Ted. They are 5/5 ends for a 10'0" car. Sunshine and everyone else makes 5/5 ends for a 10'4" to 10'6" car. The Kirlin ends were made specifically to fit the IMWX/RC 1937 car -- although they

Jay, it sounds like you ought to invest in a small drill press... I have been using the same #80 drill bit for a couple of years. I also have a set of tiny reamers, which are great for turning small

Victor, it seems like every time someone gets a rejected email they start a rumor that the vendor has gone out of business. I just read one today that said ATHEARN is going out of business! Oy vey! I
