Brian, Ted Culotta (Speedwitch) did a modeling article on the B-50-38/39's in February 2009 RMC where he mentions the differences in the car series. Rich Christie

Chuck, I don't see anything unethical about that. However, if you have someone else make the decals you may need some kind of disclaimer to them. They would be considered personal use. Rich Christie

Some of these kits are offered by Sunshine (A-50-12, et al., UP A-50-16 discontinued) and I believe Speedwitch did a few? Rich Christie

Funaro & Camerlengo produces the 1321cf covered hopper. I believe they may produce the "Dura-Glas" lettered kit in the future. Rich Christie

Brian, The F-70-10 regular flat car is going to be done in a future release. I have the piggyback version and have not looked at all the details yet. Hopefully they will release the F-70-6,-7 and -10

Bill, I was at RPI and did not see any connection other than they seemed to have refineries etc. in the same states. Rich Christie

Bill, Jerry has a set for Columbian Gasoline, which is painted the same as the Warren car. As far as I know Anchor is a seperate entity. Gulf Oil purchased Warren Refining in 1956, but continued to us

Very true Tony. I need to reorganize my basement. Shelf space is becoming a premium! The 2 MoPac gons are still running at my meets. The box cars are partially built. Rich Christie

My condolences go out to Tricia and the Lofton Family. I met Martin at Naperville five years ago. I also bought his first four kits when he was located in Salinas, California (I still have those kits!

Thanks for the correction, Ben. Guess I should have read all the messages on this kitbash. Rich Christie

Group, I don't know if this may solve the issue of the narrow Tichy 7/8 end, but Westerfield has a 7/8 end specifically made for USRA Steel Box Cars #2917. Rich Christie

Actually the Tichy roof is not that hard to remove, since there are no ends to interfere with. Rich Christie

Mark, Sunshine Models makes Duryea underframes. Beware that Duryea made a variety of types so I do not know how accurate Sunshine's are. Since there is very little choice, I would use this one. Here i

Bill, I will side with the other members who have responded to your issue. I have never had any problems with F&C. Like previously mentioned they are a very busy company at many shows. There have been

Good idea Steve. I know I used that method years back, don't know why I forgot about it. I have used dividers that lock. I adjust them to my HO ruler or car side and simply press the sharp ends into t

From what I remember there are not that many rivets on the ends, maybe 4 to 6 per rib and applied to every other rib. Correct me if I am wrong, don't have the articles handy. I also have plans for one

Thanks for clearing that up Clark. Is Chad going to make both sizes of PS-1 ends then? Rich Christie

Ben & Clark et al., There were a few railroads that purchased the PS-1s with riveted ends. I believe the NH and C&O bought them per RMC modeling articles by Ted Culotta & Mont Switzer. I have seen som

Clark, Always looking forward to photos of your completed projects. Always inspiring! Rich Christie

Clark et al, I miss the older CB&T kits that have the seperate ladders. I never use the stock ladders that came with the kits, but its nice to have a clean side and ends to add a third party ladder/gr
