Re: Wanting to buy!

Doesn’t make much sense to me

Re: MILW & NP log trains
Question - The weight of the logs would rest directly on the two cross I beams which are directly over the truck bolsters and the trucks. Little or no weight would be on the center portion of the car.

Re: Removing car numbers on Walthers cars.
Scott,
I use a Euro scratch brush to remove lettering only. Light passes. I have used it on many different cars with success. A complete writeup and photos are on my blog. Look under “labels”

Removing car numbers on Walthers cars.
Hello,
Anybody have any tips or tricks to remove only the road numbers on a Walthers Boxcar. I will give Walthers credit that paint is tough as nails.
I have tried the following:
