Fantastic info! Any more loads to CT on the other pages? Thanks for sharing. Randy

Even nowadays they make mistakes. I went for a ride-along on the CNZR, and the crew told me that Pan Am had picked up the wrong cut of cars a couple of days ago, they were supposed to be picked up by

Hi, Sam- To verify, CRP 10001-10500 AAR Standard hoppers match the black Kadee hopper model with Wine door locks. At some point they may have been relettered CNJ. Thanks! Randy

Great to hear Sam! While you look at that, you have also never done the CNJ/CRP scheme on the hoppers. It’s the correct version of that hopper, I can dig up road numbers from RPCyc later if that helps

Except I think that he was using the term long before fake boobies became a common enough thing to spawn the word. Note that the urban dictionary shows a whole bunch of definitions, and that one isn’t

I have a couple of recent blog posts of some interesting freight cars photos on the New Haven. There will be more over the next few weeks. Transformer Cars: https://blog.newbritainstation.com/2021/01/

EBay is changing their setup for sellers, and eventually everybody will be required to use their managed payments instead of PayPal or other options. Buyers will be able to use PayPal as one of their

The NH cars were 41' drop-bottom gondolas. Any idea where the sand was shipped from? I highly doubt it was loaded on the NH. There are no loads of sand shipping from CT in the 1950-1954 1% waybill stu

Well, that was pretty much our intent with our proposed Bx-11/12/13, etc. project. And Rapido pretty consistently releases many road specific details for their locomotives, so I don’t think it’s unrea

I would guess Rapido would know. Have you checked with them? They have email and are on Facebook too. Bill Schneider might see this and reply too. It is a hand-finished pre-production sample, and depe

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
