Working on USRA M&STL box car by 5th Ave Car Shops ( Accurail ), number 51256, series 51000 to 51398, a photo of car in series and matching paint scheme in Steam Era Freight Cars Reference Manual,

As did his Tenn. Central boxcar and the SAL vents he did for the WrighTrak I am fairly sure. Bill Welch

If I'm not mistaken the very nice resin CofG ventilated boxcar kit Jim King (Smoky Mountain Model Works) produced for the CofG society a few years ago also used 3D printed patterns. Tom Madden

That looks pretty sweet. Are those inset corrugated Murphy ends? Eric Hansmann El Paso, TX

Nice. Could it be a CPR single sheathed automobile car?

Brian, A far better article roster-wise is Ed Hawkins' article in the July 1999 RMJ. In addition to AC&F, this article lists cars built by the railroads themselves, as well as GATC and

All the cars described in the article have 10'5" or 10'6" IH and 4/3/1 ends (bottom to top). The following series were built before 1959: 12 panel sides: C&IM 16501-16650 (blt 2/55), DL&W

List, A quick apology and correction. I was vague in my description. I was on break and rushing. I meant the late production 10'6" cars with 4/3/1 ends. Thanks, Brian LaManna To: stmfc@... From:

Hello List, I have a two part question. I'm interested in the 40' ACF boxcars as detailed in the 8/92 RMJ by Mr Hawkins. I don't own the issue and the Trainlife site doesn't offer much help. I'm

My fault, I wasn't specific enough. I meant the post-59 S&T scheme with the 8' circle-cross. By the way, Mask Island Decals makes this scheme, only problem being the herald is 8'-6" so not right for

A tenth of a second at Des Plaines Hobbies. Looks like the same old stuff but agree that shipping is high. It's high for everything now days. AMB101

I have no doubt that a hobby shop somewhere has it in stock (just like the 40 year old Ambroid kits), but most of the listings I see mention it is unavailable or discontinued. Shipping is usually $8

And what search terms did you use to find it on Amazon? Ambroid cement brought up lots of products, but none of them were Ambroid cement. At least it didn't for me. Chuck Peck in FL

While discussing why we don't have models available of Tk-Ls with another modeler I received my Warbonnet. In the pictures of the roundhouse area (pages 24-25) I noticed what
