I am greatly heartened by this response. I really have a problem with underbody detail on factory assembled models prefering wire of more correct dimensions...

I got my Eagle this week and send a renewal subscription immediately. It's been a long hual, but worth waiting. Thanks, JimGl "Only two things are infinite,...
Maybe I'm way off here, but could the round grill on the ends of the T&P GP9 and GP18 possibly be a porthole (shown in Ron Merrick's photos on page 31 of the...
My bet goes for screened vents for the Tiolet in the short nose on many geeps. Bill Basden---Delta Models ... the T&P GP9 ... page 31 of ... past ... windows...
Seems to me that would be a smaller market yet. The guys who just want to paint and letter probably are buying the fully RTRs now. I would think the ones that...
Interesting, but note that on one photo teh "vent/porthole" is in the short hood and the other the long hood. The thick plottens! BTW, excellent Eagle Bill!...
I could probably go for assembled, painted, and not lettered. ART had an interesting paint variation which had the MoP buzzaw on one side and the Wabash flag...
But it's at the long hood end on some units. I was told it was analogous to a crecent moon in an outhouse, but I will have to find some T&P crew members to...
Good Morning, Everyone, I posted a photo of the MP Depot at my hometown of Washington, Kansas that I took back in 1974. Was wondering if anyone may know what ...
Hello To all: I was doing some web searching for out of print books. For what it's worth I searched for Ox Teams to Eagles by Watson and Brown.. One came up...
Hello: This is my 2 cents. The recent flyer included in the latest Eagle by Coach Yard, was quit a sticker shock. If a serious person was going to obtain all...
These cars were modified from sleepers, over a period of some years. The first cars to be converted were the 14-2-1 cars (14 roomettes, two bedroom, one...
There are a number of photos of coach MP 6337 that have been published, taken on 10/25/59 when the car was on the northbound White River train. One, in the MP...
Unless you have your reservation in, it's already too late: reservations closed the end of the month and I understand Fast Freddy (as we call him) is on his...
... Bill, While this may be sticker shock for a MoPac modeler who is not used to brass passenger cars, these prices are consistent with Coach Yard's recent...

If these sell, maybe the slightly taller 1947 cars could be done several years later. I like the various heights of house cars in the mid-fifties. Oh, it's...

Does anyone know if the reason all 1942 Budd cars are not included is that the plans are not available? It seems a shame to me that this all-Budd train will...
... Jerry, Presumably they will offer one additional number in the series. Since 6309 is in the 2-car set, it will be one of the other 4 available car numbers....
