Ed, I might be confused here. I have a couple of the Ambroid cylindrical hoppers and they definely are in regular Ambroid boxes. I think I know the tank car you are talking about and I can't recall th

Does anyone know what is contained in decal set MEVP 60' Con-Cor Auto Parts Car? Thanks! Francis A. Pehowic, Jr. in Sunbury, Pa.

Dennis, I have a question. Is it worth the chance and expense to put another car on the market that has been done more than a couple of times before. It is already known that some shortcuts (leeway) h

I believe it might have been Stafford Swain who had an article how to modify the side sill on similar Canadian triple hoppers. A little work, a lot cheaper with an already produced car. In other words

I remember these parts. I know that someone knows the source of these but my curiosity has the best of me. Were they sold as Capart? Francis A. Pehowic, Jr. in Sunbury, Pa. ___________________________

The best place I found for small screws is Micro-Fasteners.com Check out their on-line catalog. I have two of their original kits for this car. I remember I put them back in storage because I didn't k

I haven't read all the posts about these end door cars. Has anybody ever figure out how to model the roof eaves realistically? Francis A. Pehowic, Jr. in Sunbury, Pa. ________________________________

I have used Scalecoat 1 over Floquil many times. I've mixed Scalecoat 2 thinner with Testors' Dullcote and Glosscote which are lacquer based. Never a problem. I'll throw a quick question in here. I bo

Over the years I have accumulated quite a collection of wood freight car kits. My question is this: What is the best method for sealing the wood? Kit instructions usually say to give the wood a coat o

I usually use 91% alcohol to strip my cars. There are always a stubborn few that this does not work on very well. By accident I used some Floquil ELO (Easy Lift Off) that is for the removal of decals.

The RDG Color Guide shows a photo of a class GHw gondola. They are #s 29200 - 29229. In the caption it says they were built by the Reading. There is some doubt to that as they had PRR cast on their tr

I've attached a scan of the color guide page. I don't think this infringes on anything as it is not for commercial use. I have two other photos of the class but I bought them personally from Craig T.

Rich, This is a great site. I will have to look over it to see how to take the dates. It has for the Reading: RDG NS 7/99 7/2000 Does that mean they only used the reporting marks for that period of ti

I asked this question but was unable to find what I was looking for. There was a post, I'm sure, on one of the three main groups (RPM-forum, STMFC and bbfcl) about a NP magazine being available to dow

To Rich and Chris, It was C&NW not NP. The only thing I had right was north. Senility! Thanks! Francis A. Pehowic, Jr. in Sunbury, Pa. ________________________________ To: RPM-forum@...; S

Eastern Car Works but you have to assemble it. Not high quality. Is Cape Line still around? Francis A. Pehowic, Jr. ________________________________ To: STMFC@... Sent: Fri, March 12, 2010

I recently saw a photo in a magazine of a Lehigh Valley 19000 series ribbed offset-side hopper that had its end number painted in a black diamond. It was car number 19000. Did any other roads use thei

Tim, You will find photos on Trainlife site. Rail Model Journal - October, 2002 issue. I have not yet read the article. Seems like a simple kit -bash. Caption under photo says 1948 car order. Francis
