Attached is a photo of the Artitec dozer mounted on an NKP flatcar. This particular version came with the blade detached. I particularly like that the operator's seat/controls has a canvas "tarp" covering for shipping. The Artitec items are pricey but can by justified for a single loaded car. Craig Wilson

Indeed I'd bet that the three-compartment car in question was rebuilt from a single-compartment car. The give-away is the middle dome bigger than the outer two: big enough for the whole car in its original form.

It doesn't appear that UTLX was in any great hurry to convert to AB brakes as of 1948.

Re: B&O Tank Car Explosion
The links appear for me as broken. When I click, it downloads a .TIF to my machine. That may be the issue; the Groups.io page trying to handle a .TIF instead of .JPG. Maybe convert them and re-attach?

Re: Photos: CCIX Tank Car 342
Frank Hodina
Our acid tank car kit 1.03 would work for CCIX 342. Kit 1.03 is of the first group of these cars built for Consolidated Chemical in 1945. The cars were leases so the reporting marks are SHPX. CCIX was built in April of 1947. The 140,000 capacity is due to the Heresite liners that these cars had. Would need to do a new decal set to issue a new kit, but that's not a proplem as the artwork is available. Let us know if there's an interest.
Have a happy 4th! Frank

The Artitec are available Built up and painted or in a resin kit. They are beautiful little models.
Attached is a photo of two without the blade installed that I built from their kits. At least one will be a load on a CB&Q Fm-11 flat. The blade will be mounted to the deck next to the Cat D7 George Toman

History Blog: 15th C. Painting Conservation Video
Garth Groff and Sally Sanford
Noble Friends, Yesterday's History Blog featured a story about the conservation of a 15th century painting by the Venetian artist Antonio Vivarini. The painting in question is today known as "Saint Monica Converts Her Dying Husband", now in the Detroit Institute of Art. The wood panel painting is one of five known to survive from the footer scenes below an altar in the Venetian Church of Santo Stefano. Saint Monica had a fairly popular cult following in the middle ages. The saint was the mother of the future Saint Augustine. Her husband, Patricius, remained a pagan until his deathbed conversion, as depicted in the panel. Her son Augustine was a trial for Monica (which is one reason why she is described as "long suffering" in the Blog). It took her 17 years and the help of Saint Ambrose to finally end Augustine's reckless and lazy lifestyle. Age has not been kind to the painting, and two large splits had developed as the wood base took on a pronounced dome shape. Accompanying the History Blog story of this painting is a brief professional-quality video showing how the cracks were repaired in the DIA's conservation lab. You can enjoy the story and see the film at http://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/58988 . Wikipedia has a very short bio of Antono Vivarini at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Vivarini . Many paintings associated with this artist and his studio can be viewed at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Antonio_Vivarini . This includes "Nacinta di Sant'agostino" and the "Matrimonio di Santa Monica", two more of the surviving paintings from the Santa Monica set. Finally, a bio of Saint Monica is found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Monica . Yours Aye, Mungo Napier, Laird of Mallard Lodge 🦆

Believe the auxiliary door has been permanently closed as bottom door track brackets have been removed, the main door still functions normally, hence the Single door stencil.
