BAR didn't have any 1937 cars. 1932 yes. and some of those did get the scheme. Brian J. Carlson, P.E. Cheektowaga NY On Sunday, January 15, 2023 at 02:51:20 PM EST, Richard Townsend via groups.io <ric

My earlier email response seems to have gotten lost in the ether so I'll try again. No mistype. I used to call the Bangor and Aroostook RR the BAR until some folks in Maine corrected me and said it wa

On the B&A yes. But the XIH being 21.4% of the B&A fleet in 56 makes it a noteworthy car. It’s also unique with the heater and vents. The Yarmouth postwar ACF is 23.8% of the fleet Some of those got t

Yes Intermountain is a stand in at best. I was hoping the ESM car would settle my fix for one but alas nope. Brian J. Carlson

It is a cool prototype but based on the roof alone I think I’ll pass unless I can see on to determine how easy it is to remove and replace the roof. We look at roofs 90% of the time on our layouts. It

Thanks. What’s up with that diagonal panel roof? Were the panels that pronounced? Brian J. Carlson

Did anyone pick up the new eastern seaboard models State of Maine boxcars either the New Haven or Bangor & Aroostook? I was wondering how well they did them. Brian J. Carlson -- Brian J. Carlson, P.E.

It’s Walthers and it’s mainline. It’s as expected, a model of nothing. Brian J. Carlson

Case in point the X29b. Vaporware still. Brian J. Carlson

No pics. Just artwork so far with a Mix of ACF and GATC lettering details. I suspect like most recent Walthers steam era rolling stock these will be poorly done but waiting to see. Brian J. Carlson

Tony, I didn’t forget. I was 9. Hadn’t graduated to reading PM yet. <grin> Brian J. Carlson

It’s hard to tell. There is no gallonage info in the Walthers ad. Could be similar. However, I’ve learned to never trust Walthers ad copy. Case in point. The B&M 40’ modified AAR boxcar on the next pa

Yep. Entire car was often by hand. Brian J. Carlson

Eric. You realize many of the schemes you are asking for were released in October on 8k tanks right. General American 8,000 Gallon 1917-Design Radial Course Tank Car (HO) tangentscalemodels.com Brian

It’s all been done, just not free on the web. Brian J. Carlson

I’ll add, I went to eBay and looked up “PRR C&BT x43C” and all the ones I saw I had the wrong roof. Not sure if this was corrected throughout the run. I’ll be honest I don’t really have many C&BT kits

The X43C should have the the following Number Series: 70400-71899, 1,500 cars Built by Pressed Steel Corp, (Mt. Vernon plant), Sept 1951 8 foot Youngstown doors 8 rung ladders 10 panel riveted sides D

Eric: Generally when rebuilt these had black ends and roofs. Later repaints often but not always painted the ends the body color. Also, Sometimes just the seam caps were painted black (actually coated

Looking at the pics again from Steve they came they stacked and not embedded so the gon looked the same length as the reefer. If it is longer it’s ex MTH tooling. Brian J. Carlson

Can confirm the reefer is also ex MTH. MTH had what they called a 70 ton mill gon. It was similiar to Bethlehem and Greenville cars, but I never looked at it too closely since Proto and tangent had th
