1960, pretty much way to late for many. -Andy

I deleted the E-mail with a photo from the above showing the brake wheel end of a ST-SL PS-1 boxcar. That photo had a comment about a PS-1 chronology clinic at the St Louis 2017 RPM meet. Question is

Wondering if anyone here would know when the SP&S introduced their scheme with the very large SP&S reporting marks. Thank you. Bill Welch

Thank you Tim. I was surprised to see he had done a couple of gondolas. The boxcars on the list is like seeing an old friend after several years. I built the CP mini-box, the B&M and BAR Pratt truss

Here are a couple of clear views of these unusual NP grabiron mounts. I also include a shot of a commonly seen end grab with two different brackets. -- *Tim O'Connor* *Sterling, Massachusetts*

I got confused because I didn't know Athearn had TWO of these trucks!! THIS (attached) is the express truck with the correct wheelbase - but it is a more modern

For those who may haved missed it, Brian Leppert's Tahoe Model Works has a Barber S2 ride control 50-ton truck which is as close to perfect for the Milwaukee rib sided class of boxcars that will ever

Yeah, the boxcar underframe isn't modified, so still has the 5'-6" kingpin to striker dimension. When you look at the car, the wheel has more or less the same relationship to the car end as the old

step looks shorter and closer to the end of the side sill, thus putiing the hand grap in a differen position than normal, why the different position of the step? mel perry

Because the left-opening door would contact (smush) the grabs if they were mounted completely on the car side. Todd Sullivan.

Grab Irons Extensions This boxcar appears to have extension mounts for the grab irons: https://www.flickr.com/photos/28555987@N06/8253849334/in/album-72157632195829152/ And a few

Wrong mini-kit. The one you want is the DSS&A box car with 10-6 5/5 S corner ends. :-) I suggest using the ends as masters for making copies. Sunshine also made 10-6

Tim, I mentioned to Tim yesterday, that the ends were "W" corner not square and posted a link to Steam Era Freight Cars for the PDF on the modified height cars Rich Christie
