Micro Bending Pliers

Has anyone tried these pliers from Xuron? They look like they'd be especially useful for bending cut levers.

Thank you all for the assistance. I have been transcribing the conductor record of E. W. Mills, an ATSF conductor in 1923. The records show 6 mixed trains between Great Bend and Scott City, KS, and 13

Bob,
This is a stunning shot, and the resolution is top notch to boot. 2 comments:
1. For the "all tank cars on your layout should be black" general statements, you can see all/most lettering on 12

Re: P&P Re: Deciphering a Conductor's record
Yes that makes sense. As Steve is active with the Santa Fe historical society, it would make sense he is working on a ATSF conductor’s record, thus explaining the abbreviations for ATSF and SFRD

Re: P&P Re: Deciphering a Conductor's record
Makes more sense than anything else we have seen, so far. 29 cars from the range 527-1024 remained in January 1925 ORER. 36 feet inside length.

Could P&P be the ATSF subsidiary Santa Fe Prescott & Phoenix? They had boxcars numbered 501-1024 in 1917.

Among many other things, like sodium hydroxide, DOW Midland made Saran Wrap. This would be shipped in boxcars.

What are spotting characteristics for this car? I would have called it just about anything but AC&F! 😉

The real find is DOWX 38109, a ACF Type 26 probably renumbered from 8319 at some point.

This is almost one of the prototypes for the Tangent 8k GATC acid tank. The corner grabs are mounted in a different location, though.

Anybody know where the Erie car float went from and too in Chicago? Was it meant to sort cut the terminal railroads?

Re: Photo: Tanks Cars At Dow Chemical (1952)
Looking at GATX 24991, might one surmise it’s in acid service? That doesn’t look like an expansion dome to me.
