That was 2019. This is 2020. I left a voicemail at the web site number, and to date it hasn’t been returned. Nelson Moyer

Yes, I checked the web site, and that’s what prompted my question after Caboose Hobbies and Walthers said out of stock, no resupply information available. Nelson Moyer

Is MV Products still in business? I tried a couple of usually reliable sources, but both list backorder with no restock information available. I need four #220 red lenses for my NE-10 waycar project.

Makes sense to me. I don’t do resistance soldering, but I have soldered phosphor bronze grab irons to brass brackets for several of the plywood side Sunshine kits, and I’ve soldered several of the YMW

Tim, I’m curious about what freight car applications brass would be better than phosphore bronze wire. I’ve built 120+ resin kits with phosphor bronze wire using 0.008, 0.010, 0.0125, 0.015, and 0.020

There was a thread on the Westerfield kit and container loads a couple of years ago, so check the archives. The G22 could accommodate eight containers, four on each end over the trucks, while the G22B

The Westerfield Data Sheet mentions the drop doors in the floor, and said that the G22 and G22B both had them. The kit floor had the drop doors molded in the closed position. I think the G22B class wa

The Westerfield kit builds either the G22 or G22B, but not the drop end G22A.Decals for both the G22 and G22B were in my kit. I’ll leave it to the PRR faithful to provide the differences, since my doc

I’m building two CB&Q NE-10 waycars. The version I’m building is the modification in 1947 which added an electric wheel driven generator, battery boxes on both sides, and a wagon wheel antenna for rad

I had a request to post the Reboxx 36 in. Wheel Application Chart, so here it is. Nelson Moyer

Thanks, Bob. I also received the chart directly, and I should have notified the group to save other’s the trouble. Nelson Moyer

At one time, Reboxx had wheel application charts on their web page. For some reason, I downloaded the chart for 36 in. wheels but not the chart for 33 in. wheels. I’ll be eternally grateful if someone

Thanks, Jack. The drawing of the underbody in the instructions has the brake cylinder pointing toward the long end, which is labeled Front (non-cupola) End on the drawing. For freight cars, the brake

I’m working on two waycars (Burlington usage), and I need to know which end is considered the A and B end where the cupola is offset from center. Specifically, I’m building two CB&Q NE-10 steel waycar

Or buy a bottle of Tru Color Erie Freight Car Brown, which is matched to color chips and is more brown than the red in the photo. Nelson Moyer

Precision Scale in plastic. Traveling, so don’t have part number now. Nelson Moyer

Nothing ‘wrong’ with slotted screws, but RTR cars have mostly Philips. I started with slotted because I couldn’t source 2-56 Philips in the lengths I needed locally, but as I got serious about resin b

First, thanks to all those who responded to the air reservoir question. The next issue I’ve run into is the type of grab iron on the bottom of the end grab ladder. Both the end drawing and photo of AT

Thanks, Bill. I have Sandifer’s book, and other stock cars had transverse air reservoirs, so I surmised that the Sk-O would also have them. Different roads handled KC to AB brake system conversions di

I’m building the Westerfield Sk-O kit with AB brakes, and I’d like to know if the air reservoir was mounted in line or transversely. I can’t tell for sure from the right side photo of ATSF 68093. Nels
