Reboxx is in business, and they respond in like fashion. Their website is antiquated, but works. I ordered in recent months wheelsets and complex fitted replacement foam, and in each instance

Around the Southern California oil fields the liquid you describe was called "Casing Head Gasoline". Many oil field workers ran this stuff in their Model Ts and As of the period. It varied a bit, but

Tim, the article http://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry.php?entry=WA026 gives a brief history of the Warren Petroleum Corporation. Founded by William Warren in 1922, it was based in Tulsa OK.

Yes, they are certainly correct for their numbers, so noted in the 1955 Tariff, as insulated cars. Thank you David, I have some on order as of yesterday, a pleasant surprise to learn of their

I had my first dealings with Reboxx about 2 months ago, over the phone. I first bought their sample pack, then I used that to figure out my order. The person on the phone was very helpful. There was
