Clark, how different was it than the NYC PS-2's Kadee already did?

I send a photo of what appeared to be a PS-2 to Sam Clarke asking him if
they'd consider the scheme. He replied that it was a Greenville built car.

Gentlemen,

I've often seen both terms in print--"box car" and "boxcar".  I have always felt
that boxcar was incorrect use of the English language since use of the
term would lead to words such as tankcar and hoppercar and flat car.  However I
routinely see the term boxcar in both the professional and hobby press.  Can
anyone cite an English language reason why we would use such a term?

Yes, I know the English language isn't perfect--that argument doesn't count.

Wikipedia lists the term as "boxcar" and then describes it as a "goods van". 
Following the logic, wouldn't that therefore be goodsvan?  And why stop
there--why not railroadcar or switchpoint or tieplate? 


Help me stop the madness.  If Ben can stop the United States from using dashes,
then maybe together we can stop MS Word from spellchecking box car to boxcar.

If I were to start my Rock Island modeling over in a new scale, it would be

S scale is not a "weirdo" scale; it's market is just much than the "Big 3"

(HO, N, O). S scale has a very devout following of builders.



Out of curiosity, what proportion of S scale modellers would you suppose to

be in Sn3 (vs standard gauge)?

For those modeling the SAL, I'm pleased to announce the forthcoming B-7
"turtleback" roof 40' boxcar with Silver Meteor decals specifically designed
for this kit. All of the drawings and photos are in-hand; design will start
in July. Retail price is $49 including t/c/decals.

The 2nd kit is an Erie-Lackawanna transfer caboose. Design is about 1/3
done with this but will follow the SAL box in production. The kit will be
comprised of a 1-pc body (deck/frame/house), separate roof, a combination of
etched and formed wire for railings, urethane pipe fittings (cored for
wire), trucks, couplers and Prime Mover decals. Retail price is $65.

Proto pix of both items are on my web site.

Contact me off list to place a no-money-required reservation, ask questions,
provide suggestions for future offerings, etc.

Good question... doesn't this guy have a history of producing models in those weirdo scales?

Matt, thanks for the link. My order has been placed :-)

As it happens I also need some CNJ transfers - CDS sets 119, 120 and 268 - all of which are no longer in stock at TMR.

They are also out of stock or not listed at every other site I turn up vie google.

If anyone has any leads on any of those sets, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks in advance
Steve

Hi John,

Thank you for the information. However, I cannot bring up a web site for CDS. Do you have a web site or an address?

Joel,

The correct address for TMR is:

http://www.canadasouthern.com/tmr/CDS.htm

I count three available CDS sets for steam-era freight cars, and the twin hopper is one of them.
