I do a bit of ebay work, and I get a variety of priority mail boxes from the post office. Their "shoe box" is a good size for most HO rolling stock. Never underestimate the ability of the postal

Anyone have experience shippimg freight car kits in these envelopes? I've received 2 - 5 lb cast iron plates in one of these envelopes. These envelopes (9-1/2 X 12-1/2) cost $5.95 each, less than

Brad, K7 or K7a? Both are designs that were pretty much unique to the PRR. The K7 was a minority car (based on the X23) with very few built, while the K7a (converted from the X24) made up about half
