I forgot to question: shouldn't lines appear above the reporting marks and below number in original lettering and up to early 50s? Jerry Glow

Is the car in the shot Tim cited in a museum or ??. It has a "NEW" date yet is in the renumbered series plus the LD LMT and LT WT figures do not add up properly. Jerry Glow

I don't know if you read off the wrong line or ?? but the StLB&M series you list are 36' cars. Nos 2901-3400 are 40' cars Jerry Glow

Martin Loftin did an article on two different MP ones for StLB&M (2901-3400 blt by ACF in 1925) and NOT&M (2401-2900 blt by ACF in 1921) using the Storzak Soo Line flat kit. It appeared in March '89 R

Thanks Mike. I have a hard time saying no to new projects which has occupied much of my time instead of catching up with missed orders. That is why you hear some are getting their orders in a timely m

I do most of Stan's esp the ART ones but the ones I did for him were newer or different cars than the original requester. He has contacted me and I'm doing one to fit his needs. Jerry

From what I can determine from "Cabooses of the Missouri Pacific Lines" it's a steel side rebuild of the horizontal wood sided one. Hallmark made the latter and Overland the one you see in the pic. Je

I recently did decals for an O-scale customer for this car. Like all my work, it's scalable to whatever you want. See: http://home.comcast.net/~jerryglow/samples/CHLOR-TANK.jpg Jerry Glow http://home.

The main reason for the controversy is Atlas did a poor job on the level of detail esp the inset side sill which is a hallmark feature of rebuilds. Also they took liberties offering schemes on the wro

It usually takes about 6 months. Has anyone received their orders from the discontinued list? I forgot to keep a copy so don't remember the date I sent mine but it was within a few days of the notice.

I'm alive and well <g> I took some time off for my brother's annual visit. This year's visit was ill advised as his health and condition deterioriated while he was here and he was hospitalized upon re

One thing I do is replace the trucks with appropriate ones molded in Delrin or similar. They roll smoother and with choices available, you can usually come up with a more accurate and/or better lookin

Until we get a more informed annwer, I'd guess not as the railroads even used scale test cars to verify scales' accuracy. I's suspect records were kept of the checks as weighing cars was part of deter
