For example, Highball's everyday printing is now done with an Ohki CMYKW laser printer and, having purchased yellow decals from them recently, neither statement would seem to apply (but perhaps would to other situations). -- Dave Parker Swall Meadows, CA |

What WILL work is to shift the yellow color to allow for the transparency of the yellow. For example, if the decals are going on a red car, you would shift the decal color in the green direction. Ed Edward Sutorik |

Looking for Instructions for Sunshine Kits 40.14 and 40.15 for UP A-50-16 Automobile Car
If anyone has these instructions and plans, can you please scan and send me a copy.
I am trying to build a reasonably accurate floor and underframe for a Trix UP A-50-16 Automobile car with the Evens Loader chain storage cylinders which appear in photos of the prototype and completed Sunshine kits. That is the Sunshine Kits 40.14 and 40.15. The the dark fuzzy images of the cylinders are very visible under this 1940 UP prototype photo of the initial class A-50-16 car. I promise to thank profusely anyone who can help me with this project. -- Ken Adams Omicron BA2.2 may come and go but I still live mostly in splendid Shelter In Place solitude Location: About half way up Walnut Creek Owner PlasticFreightCarBuilders@groups.io |

Re: NYC Boxcar question
Looks like one of the replacement ZU eave roofs either rectangular panel or diagonal panel, depending on when the roof was replaced. Looks like the original door to me. This one, 120836, has the rectangular panel roof and the same door as 123452. On 7/27/2022 12:38 PM, Geoffrey Barbier via groups.io wrote:

Re: Bangor & Aroostook Refrigerator Car BAR 2447
But you are not looking at the negative or the print -- You are looking at a digital scan of one of those, and anyone who has done a lot of scanning can tell you that's easily done with a scanner or with software afterwards, such as Photoshop. If the scan was from a print, this kind of thing can appear in a print as well, depending on the printing process. Here's another car from the same order (from the Vancouver BC collection) on its delivery run to Maine via Canada. :-) On 7/17/2022 9:40 AM, Jim Allen wrote:

Geoffrey,
With that number, it has to be one of NYC's USRA all steel boxcars from the 1920s. Westerfield has the kits. Todd Sullivan |

NYC Boxcar question
Geoffrey Barbier
Recently bought a print, and found this NYC boxcar with an almost perfect numeric progression as a number, hiding down in the corner. Would love to build a model, but you can't see which ends or which roof. Is there any way to determine which version of door and roof to use? The photo was taken '59. TIA!

Re: Prototype for Branchline 37-Foot Reefer?
Vincent DeFatta
I have several reefers which I have. The boxes are red which has Branchline label on the end of box. I have small shunting puzzle in planing and thin out right now. I am saving some local names would see on Houston & Central Texas and Texas & New Orleans Railroads. Time period is mid to late 1950’s. Cut off for my scheme is 1958. I noticed the sell on this site, what are your regulations & thoughts?
I have enjoyed this site. I joined a month + ago. Site was recommended by follow modeler as I was asking what type tank cars carry corn oil, cotton seed oil and peanut oil to Houston area commercial food facility preparing bake & fried "moon pies" etc. Thanks Vincent DeFatta Fort Smith AR 72908 Also I will post images of early Branchline boxes.

Re: Bangor & Aroostook Refrigerator Car BAR 2447
This is a very dubious picture. If you blow up the picture, the white stripe covers up the door detail and ladder on far end. Looks to be photo shopped or edited somehow.

Re: Custom Yellow Decal?
Curt Fortenberry
Dave is correct in that most yellows need a base of white, so in effect a 2 color decal. We had a custom decal and ended up having Kadee do that; holding a very tight registration was required. This was a few years ago and they may not be doing custom decals anymore. Most have a minimum order, you could sell the rest. Curt Fortenberry |

Re: Custom Yellow Decal?
Dave Parker
Tom:
I have been involved with custom decal projects (yellow lettering) where we used both Highball Graphics (https://highballgraphics.com/) and PDC (https://www.pdc.ca/rr/custom_decals/). It's been a while, and artwork requirements and minimum charges may have charged. You would need to contact them and inquire about your specific project. Another option would be to find someone with a working ALPS printer. I know there were a few on this list at one time, but these printers are getting long in the tooth. Having tried and failed, printing yellow with a conventional color laser printer is not really practical. The short explanation is that, because the printer cannot lay down a base layer of white, the yellow decals won't be sufficiently opaque. Sorry that I can't provide a simpler fix. Maybe someone else can. -- Dave Parker Swall Meadows, CA |
