Hutchins Dry Lading Roof? A photo taken in 1916: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ssave/39075615572/in/album-72157689846832316/ Is this an example of a Hutchins Dry Lading roof? Thanks. Bob

Great model! What size chain and brass strip do you need for the brake cylinder pulley assembly? My sunshine kit of the soo sawtooth did not include either. Thanks, Elliot

A "recommend" from me for the Toronto RPM. It's relatively small but has been growing. Several historical societies are attending this year. This is the geographically closest one to me

I really like those cars. They have lots of “personality”. Great looking model. Dave Lawler Sent from Mail for Windows 10

The presentation PDF is on Ted blog. Link to Kitbash PDF It is about halfway down with photos of cars 10925 and 10857. Scott McDonald

I must have mistranscribed the GN group. I mentioned the flat bottom of the top rib in a second post. Thanks! Randy — Randy Hammill Prototype Junction http://prototypejunction.com Modeling the New

I, of course, have a soft spot in my heart for models of these cars, and this is a very nice build, and an extremely nice paint and weathering job. Dennis Storzek

Thanks Steve. You're right but I have ignored the treatment of the flat-bottom top major rib because EVERYONE in the hobby biz has ignored it (in HO scale) with one Accurail exception (I think; from

Fine build. Look forward to seeing it tonight in the display room at the Modelers Retreat. Lester Breuer

I agree Marty. It was the right thing to do. I feel bad, though. I was looking forward to the meet. Dave Owens

Dave, Thanks, No surprise considering the situation. Marty McGuirk Gainesville, VA

Nicely done Rich. Thanks for sharing George Toman

Thanks, Steve! Elden Gatwood

**** SOME of the SP B-50-27 box cars had the earlier ends without the extra thin rib at the top. **** **** I've enclosed two photos to show this - SP 100303 and 100441. Evidently the ends changed

**** IM made one end with a "thin" top ridge. (thin+3/4 IDE) This was the standard end for their 12-panel box car. **** If only they had properly done these with the flattened bottom on the top

Eldon, **** How are they different from the ends EJ&E had on their 10’IH cars? Or the B&LE cars? **** The EJ&E per Hawkins) had 500 10’ IH cars with IDN-2 ends, the ends in the original

Randy Hammill responds: ***** Those look like Improved Dreadnaught Ends for 10’0” IH cars. They have been described as having rolling pin shaped corrugations and a stiffening rib at the top.

3/4 or 0/3/4 (if you define ends from the top down), or 4/3 or 4/3/0 (Bottom up) 10’ ends – probably Intermountain. Ed Hawkins defines this as IDN Type 1 or IDN-1. A little bit of Excel work on
