I have some old steel box car sides and roofs, cardboard reefer sides and a complete wooden flat car kit. If anyone would like a list, please contact me off list at: cepropst@... Clark Propst

Athrean made/makes a model similar to the GN steel cars with wood sides. I have one survivor in a drawer. Stan Rydarowicz gave me some IM 4/5 or 5/4 ends, Murphy roofs (I know RCs are better), running

Tony, I plan on having a notch at the corners, even if I have to file the edges of the ends. Yes, I have correct height doors and the door track is already shaved off. I plan on using a different unde

Tim I found a photo of the NP car and it (at a glance) seems a better choice for the Athrean car. But, I have GN decals not NP, so I will continue as a GN project. Clark Propst

Tim, I've the 'good' Champ sets..Blue Ribbon series? And yes, I have done an Ertl car for GN. Friday I started a big project at one of the kids homes and my wife has kept me hopping with 'outside' wor

Had a few minutes earlier this afternoon. Got the ends adjusted and glued to the roof. Have one side squared (by gluing a square of styrene behind the door opening). Time to do the other side while my

Motivation is like momentum it comes and goes. Hard to sustain. That's why when I get excited about a project I drive myself to fruition. Great joy and satisfaction! One project at a time, cause when

Took about 20 mins or so to fit the sides to the ends/roof. I didn't want to assemble the body, because the sides are a different color than the roof, ends, underframe. But, got carried away and glued

I've posted two photos in the photo section. File is titled "GN box car" I think it took longer to do the pictures than build the model... Clark Propst

Drawings!!!! [Holding index fingers up in the form of a ctoss] That would mean using some sort of measuring device. Seldom if ever touch them. I'm a stare and compare guy. I would like the two models

That's why I was so surprised at the height of the IM ends. Clark Propst

Anyone know of any Armour tank car photos? I have a very, very small b/w jpeg of one painted silver with (maroon?) Armour above black GATX (12750?) number all left of the dome. There is more lettering

Ben, I used IM ends. Clark Propst

Armour also had their own cars. Clark Propst

It has been brought up that the Sunshine version of this car may not be the best choice to copy. Yesterday I put the Accurail underframe I was going to use along side the Sunshine underframe to check

Staffan, I knew I wasn't the first to think of this project. I've been mulling it over for a few years. It's something I just had to get out of the system. I've been quite busy during construction. I'

I had the same problem with his large Armour lettering. I sliced the decals along the panel joint lines and poked every rivet that didn't have a snug fit and kept puddling on the Solvaset. Clark Props

I haven't, but the sides are separate in the kit. Clark Propst Mason City Iowa

I added another photo to my 'GN BOX CAR' file. This one shows the problems using the Accurail underframe. If you remember I cut a piece out of it to match the bolsters on the Sunshine model. Then put

I decided to shorten the Accurail underframe by 3 boards (3/8") which worked out well. I've added another photo [GN box car] of the car in service. Clark Propst
