Steve, Before Richard Hendrickson passed away I know that Mont Switzer had contacted me to see if Richard could assist in an article he was writing for I believe the NMRA's magazine regarding the car.

T&P car has end panels of 4'3" ¾", the first full inboard panel id 3'5" 7/8" and the center panel is 3'9 ¾" the balance are 3'7 ¼" wide. I have no way of knowing whether this is a fit for the TYCO car

Scott, I have no idea regarding the Tyco gondola as I can't remember ever seeing one. With regards to the ACCURAIL gondola, "as modeled", we have been told that it is a match for the ACL gondola class

No, I went back through my mail and found no trace. Greg Martin Eventually all things merge into one and a river runs through it. Norman Maclean

Ken, I think someone mentioned clear styrene sprue for headlight lenses and I would agree these are simple and cheap. The military guys use them all the time in lieu of MV Lenses. You can shape them t

Scott, The letter notation on the white stripes do not reflect the manufacturer that the car was assigned to but rather the type of Evans loader. I have a diagram of the Type F used on the Rock Island

Hey Yuze Gize, I have uploaded six photos of my completed car. They are in a folder marked with my name. I think Schuyler has to approve them I think? They are not yet weathered and I will do that soo

And that is not the truck I was thinking of either.... Dang, if I were better at trucks I would know what it is. Greg Martin Eventually all things merge into one and a river runs through it. Norman Ma

Rich, Yes, I found a photo of the Elsey Trucks on an X38 #73863. Interesting truck as well. I am in the process of bashing a Life Like car to create the correct X38, it is a lot of work. Greg Martin E

Tim, I can't recall the truck name but I have seen it before. I was thinking on PRR X38 but I haven't came up with the photo. Okay did anyone notice the ten rung ladders? Greg Martin Eventually all th

I just love the running boards, which is likely why you posted this photo. It truly is a wonder what Mother Nature can to a single piece of wood. And you are worried about the scale width of your boar

Mike, Have you ever seen this car in the flesh? It appears to be stamped and them bent metal. I am not sure how you would use it as a template for a car 48' long. If there were more prototypes for the

I have an old metal one and it is crude and mostly unless you are a collector which I am not. I am thinking the Tyco might be a better start but I would have to count stake pockets and if that were wr

And what color was the basic car color and what color was the lettering. TIA Greg Martin Eventually all things merge into one and a river runs through it. Norman Maclean

Bill and all, Mark is correct, there is a protocol for ARR (your era) for billing from one railroad to another and the rules were followed. It begins with a defect card that was submitted as a path to

Tim, TESTORS offers these bottle in blister packs but although expensive they fit my WREN bottle caps which are universal to all the brushes I own. I would contact them direct for a case discount. htt

Mike and all, There are other sources of solvent based paint i.e., TESTORS Enamels in ¼ oz. bottles ( I use them a lot especially RUST for freight car color), TESTORS Model Master Series, Mr. Color (M

Nelson, I have never personally stripped resin, but I wouldn't use Brake Fluid. I would try 90% Isopropyl Alcohol. And you can test it on the side of the car in single area to see it is going to 'lift

Hey Yuze Gize, We did this on the SHAKE_N_TAKE project for the SP B-50-12A project. If you recall Sam Clarke from KADEE donated the complete brake wheel assembly. I believe it was Craig Zeni who poste
