I'm hoping someone knows of decals (or dry transfers) available in HO to correctly mark a HiTech Details baby HyCube. I assembled the kit last night, then went today to find decals .... with no succe
Fans My question is with the recent Proto F3's Initally these were delivered as four unit sets, drawbarred together to be one 'motor'. Only the end units were marked visibly with their number, but no
Question .. isn't this model a LIGHT mikado? I thought the Q's mikes were strictly heavies. I'm not certain of this but somewhat confident. Lyle Dowell <snip>
Exactly right, they were green, black roof line, and white nose stripes with side white hockey stick striping..... pretty gruesome even for someone like me who does model the "$#* )#&$^$&%)" (see...
The car is a bit of a bite to assemble, not bad, just a bit. It's been a while since I did mine but I'll pass on a few things I recall about the model. There was a LOT of flash to be cleaned away fro

I'm curious about how many joint passenger trains between the Rock Island and the Q existed. The two I know of are the Rocket Zephyr and the Twin Star Rocket. Were there others? Is so, where and when

I'm looking for information, especially photos, of the converted kitchen cars as they were modified for freight use. My sole source at this poinit is Mike Spoor's Color Guide which shows one. I'm wan
In addition to the previous info, I'm also hoping someone can tell me the style roof walks that were typically used on these freight version converted kitchen cars. Round hole, slotted, etc.? -- Lyle
Were the freight version converted kitchen cars (BE-1's) assigned consecutive numbers in several blocks, or were they randomly assigned. The family of course is 8600-8999, but I've seen car #'s of 87
One instance for the red being lit I know of on the Northern Pacific, which I could see as a distinct possibility on the Q, was on passenger locomotives stopped on a track NOT adjacent to the statio
