From the catalog of photos he gave me at CCB: Keith Retterer 1442 East Bank Dr. Marietta, GA 30068 Now I’m curious as to what else he has... Randy

I must have mistranscribed the GN group. I mentioned the flat bottom of the top rib in a second post. Thanks! Randy — Randy Hammill Prototype Junction http://prototypejunction.com Modeling the New Hav

The B&O M-56 cars were built in May ‘52 with 10-panel sides, 8’ 3/5/5 Youngstown doors (counting corrugations). They had diagonal panel roofs and Duryea underframes, Champion-Peacock handbrakes and US

A little more info - if the ends are what I think they are, the top corrugation was usually (always?) flat along the bottom. The B&O and some of the SP cars had poling pockets. I couldn’t verify the o

Those look like Improved Dreadnaught Ends for 10’0” IH cars. They have been described as having rolling pin shaped corrugations and a stiffening rib at the top. B&O 285000-285999 D&M 3000-3099 DL&W 10

Well, Branchline put the paint scheme date on the box. Rapido, True Line, Tangent, Exactrail, and Intermountain (and probably some I’m missing) have various amounts of information on their website and

John answered most of your questions, but regarding build dates: I have posted info here, and there are pages on our site for each prototype group, as well as on the IndieGoGo site. But there’s a lot

Fantastic info. Thanks. To clarify, they were all out of interchange service by that date. More than 100 (maybe 200+, I haven’t really compiled the info as it’s past me era of interest) were still in

A few more NH single sheathed box cars still in work service through at least 4/62: T-80, 83 (assigned Maybrook) T-81 (Oak Point) T-85 (Cedar Hill) T-89 (Providence) T-90, 91, 93 (Boston) Randy

I certainly don't question the late date. Those are definitely NH single sheathed box cars, I'm not sure any other road had a single sheathed box car with a Howe truss and that reverse diagonal in the

Hi, James - Somehow I missed this message earlier. To clarify: For the ATSF cars in this project we are doing: Bx-11, -12, and -13 in their original configuration Bx-11 and -12 rebuilt (or modified mi

Thanks, Greg - We're just getting started but we need a lot more support. I'm happy to answer any questions, concerns, etc. regarding the project. There are enough folks here alone to make it happen,

I had a great time on my first visit to Cocoa Beach! Thanks Mike and those who make it happen. We are officially live and taking pledges for our project. We have a lot of information on our site and t

Hi, Dan - Yes, the Dalman One-Level trucks will be available separately. I don't think Ted Culotta would talk to me anymore if we didn't make them available. For the Dalman Two-Level trucks, we have a

Now that you mention it... https://www.prototypejunction.com/2019/12/project-1-atsf-bx-11-12-and-13-rebuilds.html The next post will also be later today with some more options. We'll be posting all of

One more thought. Another reason why I think it makes sense to think in terms of the joint not being a corrugation that is counted, is to think of the panels independently. That is, the top panel of a

Looking at the pictures, I don't understand how you're counting things. For example, I would count first two pictures as 5/7/5 and the third as either 5/5/4 or 6/6/4, depending on whether you count th

I have a couple of the Nickel Plate Products brass ones that I will redetail with Bowser parts. The floor casting fits nicely, and the doors are better as well. Randy
