Tim, They were leased from the RI in the early 60's. I too am interested in one, hopefully someone we know will be making the decals for most of them. Rich Christie

Bill, I had a few of those in the "early" Sunshine kits, that I never built. The resin was so bad that they basically disintegrated, so I salvaged a few parts and tossed them. Rich

Greg, Hopefully someone will make a decal set for the CMO yellow & green version. Rich Christie ps - looking forward to this one. I already have a DPH Viking roof in my spares

Lester, Detail Associates makes the 6' 6 panel door. Try eBay or of course Walthers. http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/229-6302 Rich Christie

Fenton, I too will not be able to attend and would be interested in purchasing the kit and associated details and decals also. Rich Christie

Ron, Since the XM-32 covered a lot of box cars over a fairly long period of time, the best bet would be to change a few digits as the Post-War XM-32f's had steel running boards. Rich Christie

Tim, I hope Hubert is inspired also. Until then I will stick with my original plan. I don't have an Intermountain PS1 for this project but a lesser quality PS1 in a Robins Rails kit. I have all the fi

Gang, I happen to have that TS Cornucopia set. Now I know what to use it on. Will get the Microscale WP/SN/TS Caboose set for the roadname etc. The target car is a spare Robins Rails 50' SD. WIll need

Group, I have a question regarding how the brake reservoir is mounted on the Bx-38 War emergency box car. Is it mounted conventionally or traversely? Thanks, Rich Christie

I had no problem ordering those roofs along with other detail parts from Claire at Sylvan. That was back in February of this year. Rich Christie

Steve, That kit is still listed as available from Sunshine as of July 2013. Unfortunately, there is no concrete way of knowing the real availability of some of their kits. Of course expect up to 6 mon

Ed, Sylvan offers those roofs. http://www.sylvanscalemodels.com/ Rich Christie

Ed, I drill out all the holes and use wire replacements for grabs as necessary, securing them with ACC. Rich Christie --------------------------------------------

Gary has been a very busy man. I received an order today. I ordered the kits awhile back but one car won't be available till September. At the time I asked him to hold my order as I have too many proj

Gene, Unfortunately I do not have the M-I triple hopper conversion mini-kit. I did buy the MoPac version. If you can not locate the M-I version, you could try and find Champ's HN-62 MP Road Name Set,

Brian, Puzzling for me too. Could have been something he started before Intermountain made the R-40-10. Another note, Champ made a set for the BR-40-10. You would think by this time Microscale would h

Gentlemen, Bethlehem Car Works has 2 versions, #1217 Coil Springs & #1218 Leaf Springs. Interesting that these numbers coincide with the old ECW numbers! Rich Christie http://www.bethlehemcarworks.com

Gentlemen, Are these decals still available or were they proprietary to the Overland model? Rich Christie

Tony et al., I remember seeing that car in the book The Great Yellow Fleet. Rich Christie

The RPI site has a pic of the script herald. I imagine using the script herald from the hopper set, from this company, would work. http://www.raildetail.com/Decals.html Rich Christie
