What year January RMC is that article in? I'm hoping it is available. Thank you Don W

Hello guys. I have a pair of Milw Ribside Boxcars with the short ribs. I'm suprised these kits don't have more information on the prototype. The brake gear has the main parts, only. I would like to ad

Well, again, I stubble across a car that would make a great addition only to find that it is years out of production......Awwww....crap!!! So with no decent model, what good are decals???? disappointe

Oh wow! I now see what you have been talking about. I assume the MKT cars are all yellow and are 50ft cars. What car will it take to model these? Thank you Andy for the working link. Don Worthy

Ken, I'm not sure what you mean by "would the mill have loaded these with out bound loads." But, during the 40s and alot of the 50s, old wooden boxcars and even vent boxcars were used. Although, some

The process for making clay into a slurry that could be hauled by tank car wasn't perfected until sometime in 1960. Before that, it was shipped in 100lb sacks *early 40s* by the mid 40s til some time

Thank you, Bill. I look forward to what you find out. I've asked some "Southern" folks with no reply. The shots I have do look green with gold Southern and car numbers but, can make out the other lett

Can anyone shed some light for the lettering on the milk cars the Southern had? Numbers 3925 to 39XX. I was given two shots some years ago. They must have been made during the mid to late 30s. The two

I found a photo of a stack of Mellon's and downloaded it. Then re sized so the Mellon's were almost 12" in diameter. Cut them out and glued to sides of door way. I've got a photo posted on the CofG mo

I have a 46.9 "steel" and a 14.1 wood side kit. Both are ART reefers. Sorry I don't have the numbers that you're looking for. Don Worthy

Gary, I have a photo of 8570 and it is a true PS-2 except for the doors. Don't know why the DOD wanted the old style doors instead of the single 10ft door that was typical of the PS-2. Unlike the CofG

The clips that I have came from http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=railroad%20AND%20mediatype%3Amovies which is the moving picture archive. The clips are "Great Railroads at Work Parts 1, 2 and 3

The guy in the chair is lubing journals. He uses a squirt gun and shoots oil in the journal box as it goes by. I saw them doing this in a short film clip. Don Worthy

That is one of the "great" shots!! It has some of every type of car. Ben could teach a class with this shot about car identification. I see one of those "wagon top" box cars. Guess it's B&O. It's in t

That is not the tank in the photo that I saw. But, thanks Don Worthy

Oh man, yea. There are some terrific shots in that group. There is one shot that shows a yellow OB box car with the "jar" painted on the door. I'm not sure what it was called but, I'm sure that type c

Thanks Kurt, after I wrote "M3" and hit send, I double checked and discovered that they were in fact M5s. You're "dead on". I'll send the shot in question. I'm unaware of the T-29 - 32's. The WWII and

I have really enjoyed the life photos. I do wish that the information had been better documented, although. I have so many questions concerning some of those shots. For example, the date on the photos

OH Great, Ted, I've just ordered two of the CG door and half cars. Man, I've been really excited about these cars. Thank you for your efforts Don Worthy Ivey, Ga.

Hey, that may not have been that unusual. I have a film clip with a load like that on the Central of Georgia Railway around 1955. The only difference is that the Central's load looks like the poles we
