Re: 1927 Freight Train Consists
Very interesting Terry! Tobacco travelling to Hagersville (where is that?)
in MC box cars? Where did it come from? And soda ash too? Isn't that a

Re: Call for slides
If the slides are remounted in plastic holders (rather than in the sliced
and Scotch taped original cardboard mounts as some hobby magazines did many,
many years ago), owners might be less concerned.

Re: Call for slides
Tim,
I am told that slides give better results. Again, I don't know. I'm
not involved in that aspect of the publishing.
That being said, I do know that I have used color slides larger than

Re: C&NW color guide for Morning Sun
Tom,
I can tell you that there is more material out there to be
discovered, color and black and white.
And I can tell you how to find it!
Publish a book on any railroad topic. Almost immediately

Does someone have pictures of the Rock Island B-2 box cars which were
made in to the 200 cabooses? For the life of me I can not remember if
a kit has been made in resin.

Re: Call for slides

Why do they have to demount the slides?
I use a Minolta Dimage scanner that loads 4-5 at a time in their mounts.
I am just curious as to why they do this. It seems unnecessary.
