Re: ADMIN: Oddball Decals
Since my inquiry of Sep 16 asking if anyone had received a decal from Oddballs Decals within the last 3 monyths, I regret to inform the group that no one has indicated that they had received any. And, there are currently 5 members who indicate that they not only have not received odered decals but they have taken action against Oddballs Decals.

Posted by: "Bruce F. Smith" smithbf@... smithbf36832 Date: Mon Sep 17, 2012 5:52 am ((PDT)) Brian, Folks, As I noted earlier, this isn't really a very good cargo for long-distance ovement by rails due to the beam of these PR boats. ******************************************************* Bruce, I did note your valid comment regarding the PT boats, I've long had an interest in these craft (and their British counterparts, the MTB's). However, your suggesting regarding the LCVP's is indeed a great idea. My uncle ran one of these during WWII (including the landings at Guadalcanal), also when I was stationed at NAVSTA Guam, we had several former landing craft converted for various harbor duties in Apra Harbor. Thanks for the suggestion! Take Care, Brian R. Termunde Midvale, UT "My Train of Thought left the station without me!"

I knew something wasn't quite right when I posted my reply earlier today. For some reason I thought Southwest Scale Reproductions offered the earlier-version Youngstown door, but you're correct that it's offered only for 6' door openings. The link I provided was for 6' door openings, and the cars had 8' openings. My bad. For another option besides doors of cast urethane, recall that C&BT Shops came with Youngstown doors of the correct version for these SRR box cars. C&BT had them for 6', 7' and 8' door openings. Of course, they might be difficult to find. Regards, Ed Hawkins

Re: Sou box car info needed
Keep an eye on eBay as Ted sells things from time to time. I have
purchased several of the SR postwar boxcar kits less the Branchline cars. In these he included both the Superior and the special YSD door and the great decals. Hopefully he will gradually get back into this as he is a great resource.

Re: Sou box car info needed
Allen Cain <allencain@...>
The doors on the Southern boxcars represented by the Branchline kits have 8
foot doors and while the doors offered by Southwest Scale Productions look impressive, they are 6 foot wide doors. Unless I missed something on their site they do not offer these in the 8 ft version but I wish they did! I sure wish that I had bought more of Ted's stuff before his departure. Allen Cain
