Hello Brian, Both actually, we want to expand our truck line with new types and offer the same trucks we have in our fully sprung truck line with the new design. Then modelers will have a choice, thos

I really don't need to comment because Ed has done a great job in explaining our new truck design, thank you Ed, your mud is quite translucent. We have been receiving many positive comments about thes

Hello Armand, Although we are cutting down the use of the #4 coupler in other coupler applications or coupler packages the #4 as it is will still be available for quite sometime. The present #78 is th

Hello Tom, without actually seeing the particular model I can only suggest a coupler to try. I would try a short #143 standard head whisker coupler or the short scale head #153 in our #252 draft gear

Tim, No I don't believe that we'll include the #262 with the normal coupler package. We changed the hole size because that was one of the complaints about the #78 box. I think the bottom of the box ha

Hello Group, Kadee is not discontinuing the #58 coupler, like the good old #5 coupler in our "standard head" coupler line, it's the back bone of our "scale head" coupler line. We are discontinuing a n

Hello Group, I usually do not comment on this group, mostly because somebody eventually gets things pointed in the right direction, as this thread is going. However, I thought I'd fill in some yet unm

Hello Clark, You can use what is called "water color pencils" that are actually used by sketch and water color artists. I like Faber-Castell, Derwent, and Prismaclor, among others. Sam Clarke Kadee Qu

Clark, I was a Meat Cutter (Butcher) for 14 years before I decided to make a living doing something fun. It didn't take long to learn not to try and catch a falling knife. It was much easier (and less

Bob, Thanks, we do happen to have this photo and the end shot of car #3600. It happens to be one of the few "builders" photos we have of the 8 foot door 50 foot PS-1s. Thanks for the herald informatio

Hello Group and Tim, Here are two shots of the ACY 50 foot PS-1s on the Fallen Flags site. We'd considered doing this version several times but also have not found enough photos to justify the effort

There are a number of government publications and a few web sites that list all government and military facilities. The Depot in Hawthorne, Nevada has about 200 miles of track within bases boundaries.

Hello Bruce, Tony, and Group, I've been watching this thread with great interest, since I was borne and raised in Hawthorne, Nevada. The Naval Ammunition Depot, Hawthorne, Nev. (NADHAW) was built in 1

Hello Ed, Schuyler, and Tim, Ed is correct about the yellow strip across the top of the ends indicating cars with roller bearing trucks. WM also did this with their box cars that, unfortunately, inclu

Hello Mr. Becket and list, Kadee Quality Products was giving out samples of our up coming short, medium, and long shank "whisker" spring "scale head" (#58) couplers. They'll be released early October,

Hello Group, Some years ago when I was doing the research for a Columbus & Greenville 40 foot PS-1 box car I found a contact for the correct color of green. He had a trust plate from a scrapped PS-1 t

Wow Tim, we could have several steam era freight cars out in just a few months, they might have painted on details but we could do it. Two molds instead of 20 or 30 sounds good to me. :-} Sam Clarke K

Hello Tim, Actually we never thought of that but now that I have, there are a number of reasons. The biggest is the added costs both tooling and labor, we just took a $40 car and made it into a $70 to
