Archer Decals - Fwd: HURRICANE FLORENCE headed our way
So far as I can recall, Archer was always located in NC. But then I never really paid any attention to them until someone discovered their rivet decals. That was what seemed to get the interest of mod

Stand-off End Straps on GN Truss Rod Boxcar
Bill, That is what I thought but did not know for certain. Whenever possible I use prototype photos for creating decal artwork. It’s the only to get the proper lettering, fonts, trademarks, etc. John

Semi trailers (was: Sunshine Kit Question)
I am looking at two Walther's semi trailers. A 35' fluted side CNW and a Soo Line 32' wide spaced vertical rib. The CNW scales out to 35' length, 7' 1" width (too narrow), 4' floor height and 12' 6" O

HO scale ASF A-3 Ride Control trucks with roller bearings
Well, it woulda been okay if the U.S. didn’t abhor the metric system so much back then. Instead they chose to widen the gauge to 5’ or, for the serious modelers, they chose to work in 17/64 scale. Who

HO scale ASF A-3 Ride Control trucks with roller bearings
Just for the fun of it seeing as how proper nomenclature has been introduced; There is no way in hell an HO truck, even a pair of them, could weigh 70 tons. I’ll now return to my nap. John Hagen
