Eastern Car Works made a 90 ton two truck depressed center flat car. Did they also make the 250 ton four truck one the O.P. was asking about? Tom Madden

An interesting point, which I wonder about every time I demold detail sheets for Resin Car Works kits. Does anyone actually use those resin brake cylinders, air reservoirs and triple valves included o

Staffan - Well, they are 30+ years old. Richard was even using a dot matrix printer for his labels. The attached photo shows the dimensions and a comparison to ends from an InterMountain 10' 6" IH box

I have examples of many of Richard's WestRail parts. Here's the 3-3-3 end. It's pretty nice. Tom Madden

It's a non-issue. I just dug in the trash and found one of the casting fill tube stubs I remove from Resin Car Works reefer, boxcar and auto car bodies after demolding. Photo attached. I snap these of

If you follow the link George posted and go to the bottom of the page and click the <Home> link, it will take you to Randy's Prototype Junction blog. The last three blog entries discuss this project,

I bought a set of 20 but haven't done anything with them. The back side is clean but the front side has the "frosty" look you get with this process. I expect that will clear up when they are ultrasoni

I believe Corey Bonsall, who does the D&RGW and Utah Coal Route gons, uses a Form 2 "upside down" SLA printer where the part is built from the bottom up as it's lifted, layer by layer, out of the resi

I've put together an explanation of why the "corrugations" are present and how 3D printing of highly detailed vertical surfaces is still problematical. (Sort of a warm-up for my Cocoa Beach clinic.) S

I this what you're after, Nelson? It's not petite! It's at the Colorado RR Museum and I took a break from scanning photos this afternoon & went outside and took some photos. Interesting arrangement fo

Surprised no one has mentioned it, but it's been reported that Ron Sebastian (Des Plaines Hobbies) died earlier today (Wednesday). No other details. Tom Madden

Here are two WestRail reefers I started over 25 years ago but never finished. Followed Richard's instructions for paint & lettering. The cars are pretty crude by today's standards but Richard called f

One of my duties at the rapid prototyping (3D printing) company where I spent the last 21 years of my work life was developing pigment and dye recipes so our cast resin parts would match customers' sa
