I think Bill's pix are still in the stream of emailed photos (see Photos on the groups.io page). Bu they no longer seem to be attached to his original message, or this thread.

Re: PRR F34 flat
Dave,
Some resources:
TKM 104 - http://www.prrths.com/newprr_files/newPRRKeystoneModeler.htm this is an article by Chuck Cover kit bashing the Bachmann car, but it will show you gross brake
locations.
TKM 108 - My article on etched decks. Not much about brakes here, but if you look at the deck drawings, you can see the mounting bolts for what I believe is the AB valve.
The PRRT&HS flat car book - http://www.prrths.com/estore/index_books.html
Sadly, the shots in that book are mostly dark about the underbody.
Based on looking at the photos online (above) it looks like Chuck has his cylinder mounted too high
on the bolster and he needs to add a reservoir to the bolster.
And, of course, you need a full set of brake hardware on each end.
Regards,
Bruce Smith

I'm currently building a F&C PRR F34 flat car. The instructions are very vague about the placement of brake components. If anyone has any info on the placement of the brake parts I would deeply appreciate this as I'm at a stand still
with this car. I know some of the parts are to be installed on the span bolsters but I'm not sure of their placement. Thank's

Yellow NC&StL 2-Bay Hopper. . .
Bill Welch
. . .that's not right. Well no but it is just primer. Following up on George Toman's lead I primed my Tichy kit NC&StL USRA hopper copy w/Stynylrez Neutral Yellow prior to shooting it with Modelflex Oxide Red. The yellow really shows off the various improvements: properly shaped Sill Steps using A-Line parts; train line and brackets; NBW's added to the grab irons on the left ends of the sides; and reduced thickness bolster ends visible on the sides. On the ends NBW's have been added for the ladder grabs, end sill grabs and right side grabs; .005 styrene to create brake shaft support; NBW to the tp of the brake wheel; and Precision Scale Retainer valve and .010 wire for its air line.

Re: WTB: Tennessee Central Boxcar Decals
Allen Cain
Unfortunately all I found on the K4 Ebay listing were for hoppers and gondolas. No boxcars. And ProtoCraft while it has an extensive line of 1:48 have only a few HO scale and none for TC Boxcars. But I did send them an email encouraging them to consider expanding their HO line. After all, they already have the artwork. Maybe others could email them also? Allen Cain

Re: WTB: Tennessee Central Boxcar Decals

Stan Rydarowicz offered a TC box car with decals. Whoever ended up with Stan's materials after he died might have a supply of the decals, but I don't know who that might be. I suspect there is someone on this list who does know. Richard Townsend

Re: Adjusting the gondola fleet
... perhaps the best thing to do is to make up your own mind about how much equipment you will/will not have ... and then adjust if your find your crews complaining ... several ways to "adjust" that may/may not involve changing out which cars you will/will not have on your layout. - Jim

Re: Photo: Barrels in A Boxcar
Clark Propst
A good friend hired on one of the local plants around 1950. He said they were using cloth sacks at the time and remembered vividly how the sacks were cleaned and repaired. He said they switched to paper in the early 50s. I wrote something up on this, maybe with closer dates in an article in the Nov 08 RMC.
I've attached a excel sheet with some sack loads from waybills. I haven't seen the waybills, just given the info. CW Propst
