Re: The more you know...
NWL for Spring 1993 has a full page photo of 89498 that does shoe the B end.
This series has corrugated ends.
I'll check my slide collection later

Keeley Hooks One more time
Here is my attempt at the Keeley hooks installed on my Sunshine version of the Illinois Central boxcar. I began by using Chain Nose pliers to form the initial loop with ,010 wire, then tightened this

Re: MDT orange ?
IMO the MDT, NP and PFE colors were pretty close, with the MDT and NP colors
just a notch further down on the brightness scale. They fade differently though.
NP colors would bleach to almost yellow.

I haven’t looked at the photo of the car in question, but I would expect the P2K car to only be a stand-in. These cars were built by National Steel Car in 1958 – I suspect the Rapido car is much

The more you know...
My friend Bob once said “The more you know, the less you can model” In my case it’s - The more you know, the harder/longer it takes to build a model.
I picked up a Red Caboose CGW X29 style box

Hi Pete,
I’ve seen worse, and given the price some photos have sold on eBay, I’d say the price was fair – for the right photo anyway. I’d very happily pay that for good high res images of

Re: Missing Photo Collection
Nice collection indeed. A few questions if you guys don't mind.
Is the AC 724 the same gon as the P2K model in HO?
The Texas Mexican 955 gon is interesting too, I don't think there is anything close

Made a start
I have made a start on kit bashing an Accurail boxcar into a WP car as per Tony Thompson’s SP blog apparently some of these cars got a metal roof I must say it will not be in the Bill Welch league

Re: Missing Photo Collection
Pete,
The prices are not all that bad... it ain’t like the old days when film and paper were cheap, and darkroom labor was even cheaper... I’m sure they aren’t making a killing at those prices,

Re: Photo: PFE Reefers
David,
As has been mentioned here earlier*, orthochromatic (or blue sensitive) rendered yellow as a medium gray. It was used at the time because it was the best that was available at the time. While

Re: Missing Photo Collection
Interesting collection. Watermarked because they are trying to sell the photos. $6.00-$10.00 is a little steep but more power to them. I did get some ideas for modeling a few freight cars.
