Well, thanks, Ben, I appreciate that help. The linked photo is exactly the car in question. I bought two of the Champ sets (there are two cars to do) and I expect that will get me pretty close to accu

Of course I am if you look at it that way. What I was looking for and have received is a couple or useful responses from people with some direct knowledge of D&RGW equipment who contacted me off list,

I need some help finding the appropriate decals for a car I’m doing for a friend. I am not a D&RGW modeler. I would appreciate assistance in finding the best decals for the job. Thanks Schuyler Larrab

Yeah, got that, but the “Click to start” suggests that there’s a video or something. You can get to the “Products” without the “Click to start.” So I’m wondering what the video might show us. Schuyler

“Click to start” . . . doesn’t Schuyler

Another possible series is ERIE 97400-97499..The attached photo isn’t included in that range. Again, the diagram’s roof looks nothing like a rectangular panel roof. Most ERIE end door cars were 50’. W

Well, not a BAD guess, Rich, close but no cigar, so far anyway I have a diagram of ERIE 97250-97399, a 40 tone double door box with end doors, but the roof drawing doesn’t look like a rectangular pane

Reeeely?? Who would do such a thing? Think of the headaches for the billing folks! Schuyler

Thanks, Ken, for posting this link. Quite a bit of interesting information for railfans living in the area. The map also shows the long-lost Miller’s river (now in a culvert and nearly invisible unles

Of course, we are likely all aware of what happened when the ERIE got that large class of Russian Decapods. The gauge problem, narrowing the engines from 5’ gauge to American Standard, a mere 3½” diff

The sought-for assistance has been provided. Please pardon the OT intrusion, Schuyler

OFF TOPIC, But I could use a bit of advice on narrow gauge yard design in HOn3. If you can assist, please reply privately. Thanks schuyler (dot) Larrabee (at) verizon.net

I agree with you Todd, and while I did not grow up around here, at least not as an adolescent (the last ten years have been an adventure in growing up . . . ) this photo does have a tinge of the look

Thanks to George, Ben, Ralph, Jim, Gerry/Hunter and probably a couple others who shared the agenda for tomorrow’s Hindsight with me. Schuyler
