Panicked by the idea of not being able to get more 40-ft boxcars for harvesting rivets, I contacted Athearn's Parts dept. and found it would not be problem to get more. In addition to this backup supply I also ordered tanks car parts to pursue kitbash project for 10K General American tank cars inspired by RH a few years ago.
I also ordered 2 50-foot gons bodies along with their U/F's for use at the Shake 'n Bake Bash on the Beach project coming up in a few weeks as I wanted to work with undecs and want to do two cars if possible. It took about ten days or less Bill Welch |

There is a company that sells rivit decals with different spacings. I cannot recall the company but Ted Culotta's last art. in RMC has the info on it. I heard that they work pretty good.

Thank you Dennis, I am aware of the "Archer" rivet decals. I use the harvested rivets for more custom kinds of applications like reinforcement or fish plates or when I am making my own tack boards. Anything fiddley, with unique spacing and placement.

I've used them myself on tank cars, and in fact I'm the one who provided them the info for the ACR rivets and the tank car double rivet rows.
