I can't believe I missed those! I was very much looking forward to see what Frank's been working on. I hope someone got pictures. Tim O'

I noticed the PRR X23B in the far left of the image. For those not familiar with the PRR, the X23B is a single sheathed boxcar very similar to an R7 reefer but with an X31 style round roof retrofitted

Frank sent me a flyer showing the various paint schemes and road names in the first run of these cars which I've included in the blog posting on Naperville. Marty McGuirk

If I don't comment here it will blow my teeth out - metaphorically speaking, of course. I bit the bullet, bought the book, and I'm glad I did. It contains LOTS of great information. Well worth the

Gentlemen, thanks to all who replied I appreciate your information and I will proceed. And yes the thought of purchasing a $60 book for this information never entered my mind but thanks for the

I just posted a brief review of some of the upcoming new items on my Steam Era Freight Cars blog - including a (not terribly great) photo of the little electric. Frank told me it could pull 30+ steam
