Charlie, the car number, date built, and lot number all match. Number series for that lot was 159000-159999, built by the Despatch Shops in East Rochester NY. The only thing I’d be uncertain about is the black roof, but some NYC box cars built ca. 1944-’45 did have black roofs and if IM went to the trouble to paint the roof black it’s likely that they had prototype information to that effect. The one photo I have of a car in that series is a B/W shot taken in ’56 and it’s sufficiently weathered that I can’t tell whether the roof was black. I’ll send you a scan of that photo off-list.

Re: Chameleon paint stripper
Andy Harman
I havent seen any in 10 years at least. Worked on the tough jobs but the majority of factory paint will strip easily and safely with alcohol nowadays. The glaring exception bring BLI. Their paint is bullet proof. Which would be ok, if they had painted their H2A hoppers black instead of gray. Sent from my overpriced graham cracker

Chameleon paint stripper
Bill Lane
Has Chameleon paint stripper ever resurfaced? It was great stuff (although a bit expensive) but just faded away maybe 5 years ago. Any info or a new website would be appreciated.
Thank You,

Is the InterMountain 40' 6" AAR NYC boxcar accurate out of box?
Was looking for a quick relaxing build yesterday and came across an InterMountain NYC. 10' 6" boxcar numbered 159323. Date by the light weight shows new 9-44. Lettering is crisp so I'd like to keep it in it's factory lettering if its correct for an NYC car. Lot number above the NYV oval is 734-B. It also includes a black roof.
How close is this model to the NYC prototype boxcar from 9-44? Thanks for any input Charlie Duckworth

Re: NKP 10000-10999 series boxcars
Ray Breyer
Hi Larry,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Sorry; the NKP never rebuilt ANY of their short boxcars into all steel cars (double OR single sheathed). What you're probably seeing is a photo of a car with REALLY new sides and paint; that can sometimes make a wood-sided car LOOK like it's got steel sides. These cars were built by ACF in 1916 to then-modern short boxcar standards: a large NYC-designed fishbelly underframe, Chicago-Cleveland steel roofs, and 7/7 "inward rib" Murphy ends. By the late 1920s, some of the cars were "refreshed" with Murphy roofs (that program was halted by the Depression, so only about half of the cars got new roofs). The last of the cars were removed from the revenue roster by the beginning of 1950, with something like 300 of the cars entering MOW service. None of the cars ever received AB brakes. One of the cars (actually identical sister ex-LE&W) is "preserved" at the Indiana Transportation Museum in Noblesville. As for a model, there has never been one offered. Yet. Give me about a year, a little time at the workbench, and a little arm-twisting, and I'll see if I can't get Frank Hodina to release one in his new kit line. In the mean time, I'm using Roundhouse reefer cores, and my own decals and resin casts of 3D-printed inward 7/7 ends to get a "fleet builder" version of these cars. I've completed four of them so far, and have parts for another dozen. Hope this helps! Ray Breyer Elgin, IL

Re: Intermountain's NKP Alt Std Hoppers
spsalso
I'm curious about the re-building of "some" of the 33xxx cars to have flat-top ends. How many of these cars had this conversion--a few, or all, or almost all, or "half"? And was this all done right around 1959, or was it something that happened when the round-topped cars needed extensive rebuilding over a long time span? Ed Edward Sutorik
