What to do with empty rolling stock boxes
Say guys, this is not an earth shaking question but....what do most of you do with your boxes after the freight (or other) car is built? I realize that they would be nice to have in case you wanted to

Does anyone know what has happened to Railroad Model Craftsman ?
Ted Culotta's articles were EXACTLY the reason why I started subscribing to the magazine. Also, there seems to be more scratch building articles in RMC than in MR. Charles Etheredge
