A larger hooper will come eventually. I have a pretty good starting point for a more modern 100 ton 3 bay hopper, so it’s only a matter of time.

We definitely want to do some more modern kits in the future. Intermodal/container traffic is my favorite non steam era type of railroad modeling so that is on the list for sure. But there is a lot of other great […]

Thank You

The Box car is 40ft, the tank car is also around 40ft. The Hopper is the shortest at 32ft in length. The flat car is 53ft in length. All four cars are approximately 1:46th scale or 8 wide.

It’s possible they ran 10,000 gallon cars as well. Most of the decal sets should fit any of the 6 versions. I think the Army tank logos
may get covered by the running boards on some versions, and the Shippers […]

EMD F units I have mixed feelings about. I never really like their looks. But one of my favorite roads, the Western Maryland, had them. So I have to build a WM F7 at some point. It’s just not high on the list at […]

Of course I would love to make decals for every railroad I can, but I can only realistically do a few. Each set could be several hours of work to make, so I have to be able to justify sales against time invested.

N & W would be nice.

RF&P would also be neat.

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Sorry about the missing bearing Scott. I can replace that for you, just see me at Brickfair sometime.

I sent you an email.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the article.

Thank you. We are glad you liked it. I personally love learning about the prototypes behind the models.
