Of course I ended up buying this RC GS gondola in the WP foobie version fifteen years or more ago. I'm going to build it anyways. Have searched repeatedly on the 'net how the dump mechanismis supposed

I apologize for the digression, could you name the fourth US line that interchanged to the Lower Mainland? I'm at a loss, there's GN, MILW and NP but I'm obviously missing something. Is it ARR possibl

Tony, I'll be the first to comment on that Seaboard car to confirm your accurate suspicion. I was pleasantly surprised to see it and simultaneously astounded because 28 years later I was walking those

Most likely for paper and pulp as you mention. The "Aroma of Tacoma" mainly is no longer evident due to the major cessation of the mills. Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula has one too and they're

For years I've wondered where BN idler flats to their barge ramp in West Seattle came from, think these are them. Excellent work, thank you for explaining in detail how to improve the deck because it

The Skykomish River is by far the main water running tributary to the GN but as for Cascade Tunnel it's actually the Tye River which then obviously dumps into the south fork of the Sky. At Index is wh

Stayed overnight in West Sacramento this Sunday. Was wondering if it was all SN or SN/WP and how the heck did they keep the Friendly out since the Cal-P main ran through Yolo County? Surprising to hea

Was the brewery in Battle Ground or Vancouver? My quick search didn't yield an address. Never explored your neck of the woods but certainly been along the mainlines enough times. Funny thing about it

Nice collection indeed. A few questions if you guys don't mind. Is the AC 724 the same gon as the P2K model in HO? The Texas Mexican 955 gon is interesting too, I don't think there is anything close t

This reminds me of a LFCD flat I photographed down in Durango circa 2006 or so. Very similar, I think their car was a bit newer but not by much since in Mexico the rules are a tad different (or so it

Loaded onto the barge in Seattle would have been interesting to say the least, I think that your GN option makes the most sense. I live right above the main here in White Rock and bringing in a specia

What route did this take to get to Vancouver? If it went MILW all the way then crossing the border at Sumas, Wa is the only option. Hard time seeing this being the case. Pulp digester makes more sense

I just returned from a weekend in Enumclaw racing my bicycle around the back roads and going over the old MILW row multiple times. I had much time to ponder what the MILW did while riding circles in t

Many thanks to everyone, I accidentally deleted my earlier reply before sending it. I had seen the 1937 list before but stupidly forgot to go to the front page of STMFC and look for it again. To Tim O

Forgive this post (please) if this has been covered previously. On a short trip to the BC Royal Museum in October, afterwards I swung by the lhs in Victoria and was fortunate enough to pick up a T&P 4

Regarding the ARR version, I may have a shot of one here in Seattle. Back in circa 2000, a 40' foot gondola showed up at Bloch Steel (directly adjacent to UP's Argo yard) for cuttin' up into scrap. It
