Elden, I bought their Southern 262053, part number 4324. It lacks the five little stiffeners under the running board, there are no ribs on the outermost roof panels, and the ends are riveted. These ar

It's really quite fascinating. A lake frozen hard enough that multiple cars were driven out on it. but it's the harvesting that is interesting. How they did that. Schuyler > Erie subsidiary Wilkes-Bar

I bought three NH cars when they were released, painted the doors for my era and renumbered two of them…still have to find correct door stencils to apply and clear coat. Scroll down this page https://

Eldon, I have received several of Kadee’s new models, and your assumption is correct. Kadee models representing PS-1 box cars built in 1947 & 1948 are found at www.kadee.com. In addition to the good i

Folks; Has anyone received an early PS-1 from Kadee? Which RRs would be represented by this model? I assume they’re up to Kadee’s usual standard of accuracy. What do you think? Elden Gatwood

Lester That’s another fine looking build Paul Doggett. England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Schuyler I bought a second hand copy of Photoshop 10.0 on Ebay for $10. I've been using it for a couple of years and it works just fine. :-)

I enjoy your build narrative. The step by step is very well done. Model turned out very well. Bob Allan

I have completed the build of a Sunshine Models resin kit of Northern Pacific (NP) double-sheathed Box Car 12833. If you are interested in the build of this resin kit of NP double-sheathed Box Car inc
