Fenton Wells asked: "I wish Tahoe made Taylor trucks. Does anybody?" Eastern Car Works did in styrene; Bethlehem Car Works did both coil spring (#1217) and leaf spring (#1218) versions in white

Fenton; I had a set of Taylor trucks in my truck box for a long time before giving them to a devout RDG modeler who kept begging me. I didn’t think the quality of them was very good, but I know

Just a minor side note, the RDG 100053 boxcar is of interest to me, only by coincidence. I model and research the Georgetown Branch of the B&O, with my layout set ca 1945-55. In one of the rare steam

 Hi Bob and List Members, RDG 100053 was a 40ft steel car RDG class XMt. It would have been fairly new at the time of this photo. Claus Schlund
