Anecdotally speaking, some cars built in 1940 were repainted for the first time in the mid to late 1950's, and there are published photos of UP box cars with white & yellow lettering in the mid

How'd I miss signing my name? Thanks Tony. I wasn't aware of the internal workings of the Bohn device. Apparantly, there were some details to improve circulation in the Moore system, so they DO

Last month, I agreed to scan a bunch of detail photos I have of these cars. Now that I finally have time to do so, I find I have inadvertently trashed the e-mail message from the list member who

Hi Denny, Actually, Terry Metcalfe's book, "Union Pacific Freight Cars, 1936-51," gives the date of the change from white lettering with yellow slogans to all yellow as the beginning of July 1947. He

Dennis S. (no longer signing his name) wrote: The important Bohn patent, created by John Ames (No. 625309) and sold to Bohn, was a "syphon" system of curved metal strips in the bulkhead

I understand that the standard UP freight car lettering changed from white to yellow after 1948. I would presume that any given car would not have been so repainted after 1947 until the regular

Guys,       You talk about timely discussion.  Just had custom GM&O decals made for the 1947 ACF version of the 1937 ARA boxcar.  Have been converting an AMERICAN MODELS 1937 ARA boxcar to P-64

Hydrocal works great in rubber molds. I've made many RTV molds including O scale freight car parts that were cast in Hydrocal with very good results. Charlie

The D&IR and DM&N converted most of their reefers to the Moore system in the teens, then converted a few remaining to the Bohn system in the late 1930's.  I have some information on them if you are

I have used Scalecoat 1 over Floquil many times. I've mixed Scalecoat 2 thinner with Testors' Dullcote and Glosscote which are lacquer based. Never a problem. I'll throw a quick question in here.

Hi Doc, I have used Scalecoat I directly over styrene for years with no issues. Use the recommending dilution for spraying and apply lightly. See you in Cocoa, Bill Darnaby

Thanks John. That sounds like the equipment we're seeing in the one poor photo (which I can post, if someone is really interested). The better photo, which list member Rob Kirkham discovered in an
