I am looking for a good photo of a NP 83500-83749 series stock car. These were built in 1923 and were 40ft long with a deep fish belly centersill. I have tried the NP message board and nobody there se

The GN had a class of 40ft flatcars that can be accurately modeled with the Red Caboose kit. The only thing that would have to be changed, would be to swap the pockets with the type offered by Tichy.

How would a crated or damaged aircraft have been secured to the deck of a flatcar? Here in Dickinson,ND in about 1952/53 a USAF reserve pilot crash landed a F-84 at the local airport. According to my

Were the NP, SP&S, and CB&Q the only roads that purchased 52ft flatcars with 13" side sill and a deep fish belly center sill? Would any "Q" or SP&S fan be able to help me find a picture of one of thei

I stand corrected on using "USRA" to describe the TICHY model. The CB&Q flatcars were clones except for the lack of poling pockets, right? Aaron Gjermundson

Does anyone know if Sunshine is still selling the GN boxcar kits, # 18.4, and 18.5? I don't get to shows, if ever, and I heard that they are out of production already. Also, if someone is attending a

Sounds good Jim. I may just fire off an order for what I would like then. Should have them to build next winter.

I know, it was all I had before the Archer rivets came out other than shaving them off of a donor car. Aaron

John, As for your ladder question on a GN USRA box car, I am not sure if I have ever seen a picture of one with the grab irons. The majority of them would have had the ladders. Here is a link to some

I have a new in the box, Con-cor, coach that came in a mBM62 Baggage/coach set. I only needed the mBM62 car and so the coach is up for trade. It is undecorated Tuscan and never opened. I would trade f

I have been trying to locate an HO Atlas 1932 AAR box car, version 1, undecorated, for a kit bashing project. I cannot, for the life of me find one. Were they not released yet? If they were, I missed

I have found one. Thank you to all who offered me theirs. Aaron

The NP had some in the series 86200-86949. In my 1953 RER, 426 are still listed. I do not have pictures of one..........yet. Some were rebuilt into all steel cinder cars. Aaron

Upon further Investigation, the NP Hart cars are different. There is one fewer side panels. One survives in WA. The NP equipped a rather large number of these with rollers, and used them in long consi

So far, there are as many pictures of this new car, as there are clear pictures of Bigfoot. Aaron
