Nicely done Lester. Anyone: Out of curiosity I looked at the most current "5th Avenue" order form I could find online and they do not list the "Rib Side Car" kits. Have their kits only been available

Thank you everyone, scheme too late for me. Bill Welch

Wondering if anyone here would know when the SP&S introduced their scheme with the very large SP&S reporting marks. Thank you. Bill Welch

Thank you Tim. I was surprised to see he had done a couple of gondolas. The boxcars on the list is like seeing an old friend after several years. I built the CP mini-box, the B&M and BAR Pratt truss c

The doors are accurate. The "Rib Side" kits seem mixed regarding the grabs. I have only built the 40-ft DD and removed the mold-on grabs easily. I have the 50-ft w/6-ft door to build and the grabs are

Wondering if anyone has a complete list of the kits with stock numbers offered several years ago by "Yankee Clipper?" I understand these were done for Bill Dulmaine by Steve Funaro but still intereste

More penance needed, I said Superior door but in fact it is a Youngstown door. I also failed to note these were originally Pere Marquette Automobile DD cars. Bill Welch

You caught me Doug. I call it "Modeler's Compromise"—what I do when trying to get all the details on yet accepting not everything lines up as expected. I do it instead of throwing it on the floor and

One last look at my Styrene and Resin Piedmont & Northern 40-foot boxcar with Vertical Murphy ends (thanks to Dr. Dave Campbell at Yuma Car & Foundry) and Hutchins roof before it is primed. Other high

I do not remember if any of the cars w/welded roofs were painted BCR, I need to look at the photos I have. Bill Welch

Great start on your stash Rich. I built the single 6-foot door version but had forgotten this version. Very well executed model Bill Welch
