Anyone have a similar diagram for the conversion to two-bay hoppers that I understand started with these cars? Thanks, Marty McGuirk Gainesville, VA

I bought two of these cars - one of them had a loose weight. Jared, is the weight secured inside the car? Marty

Sorry for not responding to this sooner – I’ve gotten out of the habit of keeping up on email on the weekends and we’ve been dealing with some family medical issues and the normal distractions of summ

Hi Jack, For one item -Central Vermont MofW decals - I’d look at doing multiple sheets since some other CV modelers might be interested. I also want to get a few sets of CV pre-war steam locomotive de

Can anyone recommend a custom decal printer they have had a positive experience with? I've got some HO scale artwork I need to have printed. TIA, Marty Marty McGuirk Gainesville, Va.

Allen, If no one else has expressed any interest, I'd be interested in the series on Pennsylvania and Maryland logging railroads. Marty McGuirk

Bill, Great seeing you as well. Thanks for the rivet information - one additional question - when applying the rivets to a resin car do you use the Testor's cement or CA? Marty

To those who add rivets to their HO scale models is your preferred approach to "harvest" rivets from Athearn or other injection molded cars, or to use Archer rivet decals? If you do harvest rivets, is

During WWII the military had Warner Brothers produce a series of cartoon training shorts featuring a character named Private Snafu (yet another acronym, Situation Normal, All Fouled<sic> Up!) In the o

I think the origin may well come from an old Navy (though I’m sure it’s not looking limited to the Navy!) saying “FUBAR” Marty McGuirk

Bruce, Looks to me like RR-34461 is the BREX scheme applied to the FGE/WFE wood sided refrigerator car model - while the SFRD USRA cars are also IRC products, the car in this picture isn't one of them
