Remember that auto shipping by rail steadily shrank through the 50s, down to barely 10 percent of all shipments, until the introduction of auto racks in late 50s.

Re: Precision Scale retainer valve
Bill makes a valid point about drilling on the sprue, and that’s the way I do it as well. I use a #79 bit for the wire, and there is a molded dimple on the retainer valve to help you start the bit.

Re: Precision Scale retainer valve
These are very small. I leave a small section of sprue on to help me handle it, then trim it off after glue has cured. Needs a #77 hole for mounting on an end in my experience.
