Brian how do you engrave microscopic lettering in metal molds? Do you have some kind of laser etch it in? Scott McDonald

According to the protocraft site those cars where repainted in 1953 so maybe?? Scott McDonald

Nothing to much to add other then I always scroll down to see if Tim posted photos. As usual Tim did not disappoint! I will add that even though the war had been over for many years its surprising to

I don't know whose that is but it is a nice set of components. Really like the fulcrum or whatever it is called. Scott McDonald

Would those cattle be considered feeders? They seem pretty thin. Scott McDonald

There are a lot of sugar beet sugar factories here in Colorado. Couple are still operating today. They are stinky places for sure when running. Be an interesting place to model. Scott McDonald

With all the talk on the NWX reefers I went to Westerfields site to find one to build. I saw the Bordens Red, White and Blue paint job. Does anybody know if that car made it to 1950 in that paint sche

Does anybody make repack stencils in HO? Probably have to be railroad specific. Scott McDonald

The article on the Southgate Terminal was in Model Railroad Planning 2002. It has a cover shot of an U.P Turbine on it. Scott McDonald

Can't remember if it was Model Railroader or Model Railroader planning put they did a really nice track plan for this location. Think it was 2x16 if I remember. Scott McDonald
