Thanks, Al! I have never seen a pic (or in person) one of those C&O cars, only the later Evans cars. Elden Gatwood

Hi y'all, The Amarillo Railroad Museum and the Missouri Pacific Historical Society are pleased to announce that the third run of ART ice reefers produced for us by InterMountain will be arriving

No ... the V-9 (SAL 28000-29249 and 89000-89899) and V-10 (SAL 79000-79999) ventilators were 36' double-sheathed wood cars. See Goolsby in Lines South, 1st/98, pp 22-25. Sunshine kit 21.23 models 40'

Richard, Want to hazard a guess if it's a 6, 8, or 10,000 gallon car? If it's a 6,000 gal, it would be an interesting conversion for the Blackstone Models frameless NG car that has supposedly been

Bill, The unofficial Sunshine Models list provided by Jim Hayes shows that kit no. 21.23, SAL Express Ventilator A.R.A 1932 boxcar is still available. Would this kit be either the V-9 or the V-10

The majority of 3-dome tank car photos I have show two rivet seams between each pair of domes where the interior bulkheads are attached -- Yet a couple of them show (like this car) only a single rivet

Armand Why not wish for CORRECTED kits of popular freight cars? Like fix the execrable roofs on the Intermountain 1940 AAR box cars? Or fix the doors on the Intermountain postwar 10'0" 12 panel box

I keep seeing many calls for the AAR alt std offset hoppers. We've been clamoring for those even longer than we've been howling for at one version of the G31! :-) Tim O'

Tony An even better suggestion for Intermountain would be to toss their awful Type 27 underframe and start over! :-) But IRC is loathe to fix a model once it's in production. Tim O'Connor

Bill Welch wrote Sounds like a great idea for a mini-kit Bill! (Several, if the platforms come in different styles.) How about a mini-kit to build a replace underframe (with open grid walks) for the

Steve, that is a UTL Van Dyke tank (note the heavy bottom sheet with the stub center sills and draft gear pockets still attached) that had been converted to a three compartment car, as attested by

I forgot you can't include attachments. What is this http://www.trainweb.org/jssand/016Web.jpg Steve, Given the reinforced bottom sheet that sticks out beyond the end, and the hardware for the draft

Paul Bob, Rich: Thanks guys, you were totally correct. I called Allen Tuten and he is bringing a supply of both roof types. This announcment was posted while I was in the midst of moving. Allen is

Yea, Mike you're right not the middle of nowhere but you can see it from there...<grin> and a Big Yellow Train train traversing it... nowhere that is... Greg Martin

I'll look forward to that issue even more than usual! Thank you Richard. Rod Richard Hendrickson wrote:

I can validate what has been said by Andy and others who responded on this subject. I have in the neighborhood of 300 photos of Santa Fe stock cars dating from the teens through the 1960s, and of

Correct. My clinic on wine tank cars has more than fifty photos of such cars. In fact, the opening photo is the one Rod cites of the SP yard at Fresno, where I count about forty wine tank cars

The two roof versions on the recent run are "as built Murphy X-1A" and "Murphy Flexible." Neither is currently listed on the Central of Georgia Railroad Historical Society site. Rich Orr

One additional point, the SUN OILS car on page 101 of Kaminski's book is a 10k car (should have noted that) The reporting marks are DR&U RR, Delaware River and Union RR built 1923. I have no idea how
