New Accurail 36-foot box cars
Eric, Thanks for the review. These cars are just on the edge of my era, but looked so neat I bought the NKP one. I cannot figure out how you were able to attach the small styrene strips to the roofwal

2015 ST. LOUIS RAILROAD PROTOTYPE MODELER'S MEET - 8-9 AUG 2015
I too kept getting File not found. But I also noted that my PC changed the word "albums" to "sets" and would not let me change it to "albums" Finally I deleted everything after "NO6 sets" and got in.
