Seaboard AF-5
About 3/4 of the way through one of Chad's modifications - however, I can find anywhere that roofwalks got mentioned. Does any one have readily available the type of roofwalk used on these cars?

Re: Model brake component size comparison to prototype
Interesting comparison
I wondered what the cylinder should look like if the brakes were off, so I modified a cylinder.
As far as I know no one manufactures a cylinder with the push rod in.

Re: Model brake component size comparison to prototype
Hi Dennis,
Live and learn, I guess. Admittedly, what know of the process was learned a few decades ago, so I stand corrected. It would be interesting, to me anyway, to know what types of plastic

While Cal-Scale (Bowser) may well use their plastic parts to investment cast their brass AB brake parts, they still have the wrong dimensions.
Shrinkage during the casting process is 1.8%. If you

Thank you, Tim, I stand corrected. My fingers are dyslexic. I know the difference: SRLX = meat, SLRX = beer.

Re: Anyone Want A First Generation SFRD Mechanical Reefer?
But Tim,
Didn't C&BT shops do at least one of the SFRD Mechanicals, or were they just plug door rebuilds of earlier classes? I bought a couple of their swing-door cars before Long's had Intermountain

I am trying to further document the selection of Dan Hall's SSP doors. I would like to have a picture of the number 610, the 5-5-5 wide-seam "Overland" door. Just the unfinished door, if possible.
