Re: Precision Scale retainer valve
Hello All,
I'm low on stock of the 585-31796 Retainer Valves. Does anyone know a hobby shop that still has these?
Thanks,

Re: is "hogging" a correct word for adjusting truss rod equipped cars
Thanks for the responses on this – I learned something! From now on, tightening will be my word choice.

Re: is "hogging" a correct word for adjusting truss rod equipped cars
As suggested, "Hogging" "Hog backed" or "Hogged" are terms, used for wooden railroad cars (mostly flat cars, as the wall truss in box cars make them less susceptible) which have had their truss rods

Re: is "hogging" a correct word for adjusting truss rod equipped cars
The modern term in car building is camber; TTX flats are built with a camber. However, I can see where in our agrarian past comparisons to the shape of a hog's back could become common terms.

Very nice shot, Garth!
I like the very visible B end details, which you don't often have a clear view of.
Thanks for sharing!
