I am pretty sure that one of the private low-volume resin casters offers these ends. I’m having trouble summoning up the name I want to offer. Maybe Chad Boas? Schuyler

I think the two doors are in fact the same width, in part because of the simplification of inventory for the railroads (Not just the LV). “Oh, yeah, we need to get more 7’-6” doors, plenty of 8’ doors

Thanks, Bruce, I have not been familiar with the powered plows. The winch is not visible in the photo. Now I “get it.” Schuyler

Interesting. Integrated crew. I don’t get the chains and how that works. And what’s that bifurcated duct (?) in the other doorway? Schuyler

What is the origin of the kit? Schuyler

You are on target, Jim, I STILL have my Mantua 0-4-0 from about 1958, and while I’ve had numerous chances to replace the tender with another that doesn’t have a broken rear step, I can’t bring myself

Gary, I added a column noting what I’d >>speculate<< would be the final roads handling these cars. I don’t really KNOW these are correct, but knowing something about what railroads served the destinat

I think Howard is right on the money. Schuyler

Thanks, Dennis, for clarifying that it was Fred Brummet, who was the tool maker. I remember (NOW, of course) that he was in at the beginning of Intermountain. The practices of Mr Becker certainly leav

Bill Glass was behind E&B Valley and Robin’s Rails (named for his daughter, IIRC). They were located in the Lower Hudson Valley, in the general vicinity of Poughkeepsie. Bev-Bel was not (AFAIK) involv

So, C&EI and Frisco were connected somehow? Schuyler

I don't think it's the site, I think Mr Stern has been hacked. Schuyler
