We each have our reasons for buying, building resin kits. I would be the last one to deny anyone in the business a fair price. But, here's how I look at it: I have become obsessed with the car's ladin

Barry, the decals belong on models not in files : )) Clark Propst

Barry, I have the same amount of empty boxes as I did before I built the models. So storage problem never goes away. Good Luck ! Clark Propst

Paul, that was the Alton car as built. Clark Propst

Bill told me they were coming out with a freight car and we'd like it. That's all I could get out of him about their product line. Clark Propst

Guys, I have a dozen extensively modified (with Stan's parts) IM PFE reefers. They are as close to the 49 blt Armour cars as I can get, just replaced all their roofs. If Rapido is coming out with that

Just checked the three photos of those cars I have in the computer and the sides are wider than the ends, but not just a 90 offset. Looks like they used a formed piece to connect the sides to the ends

Ted Culotta included this photo in his first (and last) calendar. If this is the first time you've seen this photo it's no wonder Ted never did another : ) Clark Propst

At last nights ops at a friends I noticed a couple of what I think were Red Caboose NYC box cars. Forgot my glasses, so didn't get the numbers. Should those cars have black roofs too? Clark Propst
