Folks, I too value Bob's posts, although I delete the vast majority as they are not of interest (out of time frame, lately too early, or cars I'm not contemplating building) They usually contain enoug

Hi List Members, An image showing ATSF steel 40ft boxcar and a (possibly IC) steel GS gondola. I note the PRR style position light signal in the picture. https://nafclibrary.pastperfectonline.com/phot

I have a model RR friend who lives in the home town of the IT. So this is my pick for "I". Enjoy it as much as I do. -Andy Carlson Ojai CA
