I've used Iwata demonstrators at Trainfest and the NTS. The double action is quite a machine. I still use my 'H'. I had a friend who could paint multi-color paint schemes with acrylics using his H. He

Add the CGW, RI and GN to your list. Clark Propst

One thing you guys are forgetting. They aren't producing any 'Blueprint' series kits. Clark propst

Maybe Bill could be given a couple of Stan's slots beings he's down four times : )) Clark Propst

I'll chirp in on this one. Thought it was one of the best N'villes ever! Having evolved passed proto freight car building to proto layout building and operation I saw great clinics by proto-layout gro

Guess that's what the O scalers are using. Ran on Ted Schnepf's O scale layout Sunday morning. Quite a layout! Was a lot of fun. Learn right away you are really an engineer when trying to control that

Gee, there's as much hot air on this list as there was over the weekend : )) Enjoyed out chats Bill, Clark Propst

I have a friend struggling with his tank car fleet (asked some questions on his behalf at N'ville) He asked me last night what TPI and TVI AAR codes mean. We guessed that TPI was a pressurized, insula

Tanks for the quick responce Tony! He models 1972, so TVI may not have been invented yet during the time of this list? Clark Propst

Thanks Tim, I had a couple gondolas with nothing for them to do. Now they deliver machinery to my heavy industry once it awhile. Remember, there are no run through trains on my layout. You work or you

I bought one of Martin's three door DRG&W box cars last weekend only to find out he also made a 6' door car that I have documention on. Is Martin's new car the car in qusetion here? Clark Propst

After knowing me for awhile a friend came up with "The more you know, the less you can model." I bought a Southern box car decal set from Ted Culotta a few years ago. I had the box car kits needed for

Fred Flintstone dropped off a stone tablet from Stan Rydarowicz today : )) Stan wanted the person he owes the Linde decals and the fella wanting the CWI caboose sides to please contact him if they're

Saw very few kits of any kind at the show. End of an era... Speaking of that, Marshall Skibbe told me that the Holiday Inn in Naperville will laid off all employees effective 1-1. Looks like the hotel

I would like to know if any available HO models jive with these numbers? Or where I might find a photo? Thanks for any assistance. GRYX 459 car of lard arrived 5-24, as did CWTX 3213, both carloads of

I attended your presentation Charlie. I would be interested in a set or two of those decals. I used my Sunshine set on a P2K insulated car. Clark Propst

Here are some loads out of the plants in Mason City IA. These are from Milwaukee damage claims, so only box car loads of bags are listed. You can cleck a map for miles if you wish : ) Dates 1954-56 GN

Most of those 'Milwaukee' box cars went to lumber yards. The Milwaukee didn't have access the plants, nor did they have a direct route to the Twin Cities where most of the cement from Mason City went.

I just looked at the routing. The cars were routed either RI or CGW from Mason City to Northfield MN where they were given to the MN&S for delivery to the MW on the west side of town. A lot of TC traf
