Mid 1920s 3/3/3 dreadnaught end
I think I know the car you are thinking about. Is it the "minibox autocars" built around the same time as the regular minibox? I always thought I'd take the spare dreadnought ends from the minibox kit

What kind of Brake Setup is this?
Hi, I'm building a TH&B 36' boxcar and these cars have a particular kind of brake gear I haven't seen before. K brakes were being used on the underframe and this strange brakewheel brace on the B end.

Bridge Girder On Flat Cars
You make an interesting observation Bruce. Looking through other photos of these cars I see some have the plate and others don't. It seems that the lower numbered cars have the plate and the higher nu

Bridge Girder On Flat Cars
Lots of stuff to observe here. What I find most interesting is the difference in lettering application on these two identical CP flat cars. I guess I'll have to build one of each! From Vancouver Archi

Question re: upcoming Rapido USRA DS box
The coupler sits a bit low. I need to add a shim but I will install short shank couplers first. The flat car's couplers are at the right height. Colin Meikle

Question re: upcoming Rapido USRA DS box
One thing about these Rapido cars that could be corrected is the incorrect ride height. They ride high on the trucks. This was the same problem with the NP cars. I had to make a jig and sand down the

I think we're talking about 2 separate Accurail models if I'm not mistaken. Clark's model has dreadnought ends? The Accurail article refers to a similar single sheathed car with re-enforced ends. I'm

[Non-DoD Source] Re: [RealSTMFC] OMI 1930-built double dome tank car
Scale wheels are useful when constructing models. I have some P87 wheelsets and I use them to visualize truck ride height. It's easier to see if the model needs raising or lowering. Colin Meikle

Looking good Bill. Can't wait to see it with paint and decals. I'll copy your notes for when I build one of mine. I happen to live a stone's throw from the shop where these were originally rebuilt so

Sorry for the delay
They look great Pierre. Did you swap Tahoe trucks for the odd looking resin trucks (Elsey?) that your display models have? Colin Meikle
