Hi,

Wabash decals
While cleaning up preparatory to moving I found a set of Wabash freight car decals I suspect from a Tichy panel side hopper I sold sometime back.
I'll mail them to anyone who wants them. First come

Re: Weathering freight cars
Hi,
I use acrylic washes as my "primary technique" for weathering.
And I mix the washes for each weathering sessions - and vary
the mix of black, white, red oxide, brown oxide each time.

DL&W double sheathed boxcar roof question
Gents,
Asking for a friend who is not on line, what type of roof was used on the DL&W double sheathed boxcars? Was there more than one type? Any good photos?
Thanks,

Re: MKT 36' DS boxcar
Hi Gary,
In the October 1940 ORER MKT lists 297 cars in the
74105-75597 36' steel under frame boxcars. There were two groups of DS cars
of similar appearance. One group built in 1913

Re: Weathering freight cars
Man. there really IS nothing at Bruceford.. errr.. Buford!
Obviously Mike just took that NS car out of the box. He kind of overdid the
NKP car I think...
Great shot.
