Thanks, Ed! I located the N&W drawings per your recommendation-perfect! I noticed that PS calls the crossbearers 'floor beams'. I looked up both terms in the 1940 CBC, and they appear to not be exactl

Hi Tim, I'll pull that issue out, thanks. Do any of the PS-1 model makers produce the late underframe with 3 floor stringers on each side of the centerbeam? Scott Haycock Modeling Tarheel country in t

Folks, I need an underframe drawing for a 40' PS-1 with an 8' door built in 1954. The model I'm working on is A D&H car. I thought I had a scan from an old MM Article in my computer, but I'm unable to

Folks, Were Pullman Standard's Bow Tie roofs ever applied to their riveted box cars that were built just before the PS-1 welded box cars were introduced? Thanks, Scott Haycock

There's a section on NWX cars in Gene Green's Color Guide. According to Gene, the yellow and green paint scheme was introduced in 1953. There's also a picture of a car in the grey scheme in 1960. I'm

Bruce, There is an article about NWX reefers in the Dec. 1988 issue of RMC that includes some color photos of this paint scheme. To my eye, Tamiya Flat Yellow looks like close match. These cars look m
