Jonathan, I don't have the Jones books, but looking at the Spoor and Holck books, I am pretty positive at least two of the pictures are the General American 53' Express Reefer. These were REA wooden
Leo, My wife's Aunt was a Nurse/Hostess (or whatever they called them) for the Chief/El Capitan in 1957/8. She was on duty the whole trip and was assigned a small compartment to try and grab what sle
Jonathan, The Sunshine kit allows you to pick the decals for the era you are modeling. Since I am modeling 1950, I picked the smaller lettering without the REA herald. These come as part of the kit.
Alright, I majored in music before I got my MBA. I still play trumpet for two community bands and I am currently marching with a senior Drum and Bugle Corps. Rich [Non-text portions of this message h
The sound definitely adds a new dimension to model railroading. I can vouch that these 1" speakers sound very good. Unfortunately, Holding almost drove me nuts when he was switching with the 0-8-0 at
I know the sound was not too loud....just trying to give Steve a well deserved hard time! It does take some getting used to in switching situtations, though. Rich [Non-text portions of this message h
Just a side note on Imron. The company I work for quoted a trailer painted in Imron Omaha Orange for a customer yesterday. It was $349 for an activated gallon! There is an DuPont Industrial Imron (no

List, In the past, the Society has made a practice of reprinting the most popular Bulletins. The economics of reprinting issues make this a difficult endeavor. To make the press run price reasonable,
This is an interesting thought, but it is one that raises many questions as well. This is a topic that we will be looking at in the near future. Something of this magnitude needs to be carefully cons
Jonathan, This is not a Burlington car. This is a Baltimore and Ohio C-15 baggage-express car. Also, (in Wilson's book) this is the relatively newly refurbished Nebraska Zephyr (no. 11/12). Note the
Quite true! But remeber, for me, time ends December 1950! ;-) (at least that's when my Q 1950 calendar runs out) Rich [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Tom, Jonathan, et all, Indeed the idea of reprints on CD's does deserve serious consideration. The Board will consider this carefully, however. There are many questions regarding pirating of the info
Of course this fall right into the period I am modeling (December 1950). I am going to have to do some research to see if the grabs were on (some, half, most) of the E-units at that time. Speaking of
Though I never thought I would say this, having an ABA set of the Oriental Limited passenger F's, but I am convinced that a Genesis factory finished version will actually be better than the brass (wh
