Great looking car, Clark Rich Christie

My prayers go out to Denny and his family. Rich Christie

I almost forgot. You may want to contact Jerry Glow. He is one of the best in the business and can provide P&LE USRA SS Box Car decals. Contact him here: jerryglow@... Rich Christie

I emailed Ted recently about the same set. He told me he is going to re-release them soon. Rich Christie

Garth, The ladder is on the other side of the car. Many people are not aware that most general service tank cars had only one ladder! Rich

I agree Dave. I like the NYC. I plan on getting a 19000 caboose from either the society or AMB down the road. I have a Funaro USRA caboose which probably was painted the same as yours. I agree the sha

Dave, The only one listed is TCP-221 NYC Freight Car Red 1945-1960. I am not sure if this shade deviated much from your time period. I am sure there are others who will provide a more precise match. R

Fantastic shots, Jim Rich Christie

Michael, I agree great shots. A shame they scrapped the PBR sign. Apparently was used for the war effort. The funny part is they dismantled it after the war! I was in Chicago last year for a Free-mo s

This is located in Joliet on the Des Plaines river. It is part of the I & M canal. Just west of this photo it enters the canal locks. I used to frequent this area quite a bit, when I lived there. Rich

That roof is interesting to me. It is a very early Viking. Please send me some roof shots before you attach the running board. I want to modify one of my spare flat roofs for a Maine Central X29. Than

Andy, I know Tony Thompson did some cross-bashing with Intermountain and Athearn tankers. I believe he has that info in his blog. Rich Christie

Group, Don't want to get too far off topic. I have a burning question though about this Conoco paint scheme. Champ made a decal set. I have not found any evidence of this scheme. Disregard the model's
