open invitation to the virtual partial TPRM Meet
Richard McQuade
Clarification - The virtual partial TPRM Meet is open to all modellers wishing to show any model railroad equipment that you built or modified to accurately reflect a prototype. That is the only limit on submissions. It can be any thing that rolled on the rails or any structures, just as in the case of prototype meets where modellers bring these models of prototype items for display and discussion.
Again, the website is: https://torontoprototypemodellers.wordpress.com
To post a picture of a recent project, especially one you would bring to a prototype meet, submit the picture along with your name, and a description of 50 words or less to: bdgauer@yahoo.ca

Re: Funaro & Camerlengo Central Vermont SS car w/Extended Height Roof kit #'s 6653 & 6655

I took a look at the link you posted. What I find pretty neat are the photos of the double door cars that were rebuilt into single door cars, but the upper door track for the left hand door is still in place. Tod C Dwyer

Has anyone here built one of the F&C CV SS kits with the extended roof. If so hoping you will post a photo here please. Alternatively if you have one of the kits could you please post a photo showing the side with the extension. I am trying to understand how this looks before I purchase.
Thank you Bill Welch

It's been converted to a company service supply car via a "patch job". Both the number and the "MWM" at the bottom of the second panel show this.

Re: Adjusting the gondola fleet
Brian Termunde
On my friends layout, there was a certain car (pre-1960, so this is at least somewhat legal! <G>), and every time that I was working the yard, if I saw that car, I knew what train to put it into and where to block it!
I made a comment (here?) once about it, and the next ops session, my friend had apparently read my post, and it had been 'reassigned' <G>
On another MRR, there was this flat car with a pipe load . . . well, it must have been defective as apparently, the RR could find anyone to take it as it simply was ALWAYS going back and forth.
Take Care,
Brian R. Termunde

that was because the car is the same and the only difference
is paint and lettering! I had to wait the 5 years to get this

Re: WTB: Tennessee Central Boxcar Decals
Allen Cain
ProtoCraft did respond and the min that he can order from MicroScale is 250 per set. He does not feel that it makes business sense to add more HO to his line which is unfortunate because he has many southeastern roads that would be of interest to me. I suggested that he consider licensing his artwork to some low volume printer but who knows if he will consider it. Allen Cain

Re: PRR F34 flat
Dave Boss
Chuck I very much enjoyed your article on the F34 flat. You did an excellent job on the kit bash. I agree that the operation is the most important aspect of this car. All I was looking for was how the brake parts supplied with kit are to be arranged so as to be able to assemble them properly. F&C doesn't really give you a good explanation or diagram as to how they are installed. Hopefully it will operate as well as yours once the parts are properly mounted on. I will have to contact the PRRT&HS about this tracing. Thank you for your help on this matter. Good Day Dave

Re: PRR F34 flat
Dave Boss
Bruce Thank you for your response. I have referenced the TKM articles. Unfortunately they do not show any of the duel brake arrangements. F&C is very vague on their instructions. I referenced my 1940 car builder cyclopedia as well with no luck. I'm not going to super detail the underside as it is not visible. However some of the brake detail is visible in some photos, but not clear enough to see how they are arranged. I have no idea how to arrange the brake components parts onto the span bolsters? There are no indications on them to show as to were the parts mite go. F&C just states install them when you get to this point. You mentioned the PRRT&HS flat car book do you know if the book provides any kind of brake arrangement for the cars? If I knew the book listed them I would look for a copy as I don't currently own one. I believe the society has sold them out. On another note I did find out that the D&H version of this car that I posted a question on a while back is the same car as a NYC car. They showed up in my 1953 car builders cyclopedia. Both were built 1951. Good Day Dave

Re: Yellow NC&StL 2-Bay Hopper. . .
Bill it looks fantastic. Impressive, please show us the finished product Fenton

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. --
