Hi I have tried to change the description to tank car etc but it wont work. Just goes to Photographs! How do you change? Thanks

I have not, Fenton. I was really hoping to avoid having to dunk the car in anything, since I’ve generally had success with alcohol or some other solvent using Q-tips. But evidently that’s not

RTR. I s’pose I could disassemble the kit to try to get it off. I may end up buying a couple of kits to get this done. Schuyler

Also, if you substitute the name of another type car in the search box there are other P-S car photos available. Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA

Many, Many Pullman Standard Boxcar Builder Photos The Illinois State Library Digital Archives has nearly 300 photos available on this

Brad- CB&Q SM16 stock cars were 36’ and lasted well into the BN era (not renumbered AFAIK) and even past the movement of livestock being used to carry ties. I don’t have the stats to back this

Nice work on the tank cars Bruce. Your blog mentions using a grit blaster and baking soda to prep the truck side frames for painting. Does anyone know if baking soda will flow through a Paasche Air

I feel sorry for the gondola, "was" a nice car. And the poor guys having to shovel the stuff out. It's ripe and still cookin'. Steve Peery

Don, In 1940 George Sisk photographed ART 247 from series 200-299, built in July 1930 by the Mount Vernon Car Manufacturing Co. The cars with wood sides & ends had steel fish-belly center sills.

Perhaps needed by a seed company to feed seed corn plants or to throw down by a landscaper before planting a new lawn. As a kid in Cleveland in the 1950s I remember living in a new apartment

Hey, for a while in the seventies or eighties the City of Chicago was shipping dried sewage treatment plant solids downstate for use as fertilizer... until it was discovered that the solids were rich
