I have lots of photos showing the renumbering after 1965, and of the restenciling of reporting marks in the 80s. Can anybody point me to photos of restenciling...
Can anybody point me to photos of the MP 28200 series composite gondolas? These were 1930 vintage cars, originally 66000 series with drop doors, according to...
... Ron, I have a few photos in my collection that show a rectangular area painted over the old reporting marks with new M.P. stencils added. One such photo is...
... Ron, Your first question on the 28200-series cars is an innocent one, but the answer is complicated. Regarding 28200-series composite gondola cars, are you...
... Jerry, No diagonal side bracing on the USRA all-steel rebuilds; just vertical bracing. Steel sheets replaced the wood. There's a diagram for this group of...
All I know is what's on the diagram. This is the diagram that's reproduced in the MPHS freight car book, by the way. It shows the cars with steel sides, no...
Darn big couplers aren't they? Hope they can easily be changed to Kadee. I hope someone let's us know which version will be the right ones for the MP. ...
I think that's the N scale version in the photos. I'm sure the HO version will require us to replace the hand holds and steps with new parts-- they always...
Hello: Does anyone have a painting stencil diagram for the COLE. I am interested in the dimensions for the placement of the lettering on the letter board as it...
I built six of the Sunshine cars, and I have a couple of non-MoP versions still waiting. They weren't hard to build at all, compared to some of the Sunshine...
Just a quick reminder that this Saturday the DeSoto shops will be open for tours from 9 till 1:30 and then at 2 their will be a dedication ceremony at the...
... Bill, To answer your question, the location of the Colorado Eagle letter board stencils depends to an extent on the car. Do you have specific cars in mind?...
Very nice esp the pealed and weathered paint. I think the ridge cap looks a little heavy (and stark as it probably would be tar paper). The seams on the corner...

Thank you Jerry for the honest feedback. I now know what areas to focus on for my next project. It was a fun AMB kit to build and my first. I'm going to...
Looks great! Could you send me the blue print that you used for construction as I would like to build an N-Scale model for my railroad. Thnx ... ...
I used a kit from American Model Builders for the handcar shed. The kit is out of production in HO scale. I don't see it offered in N-scale, but an email to...
I certainly would welcome it on my layout other than the white-on-white scheme. I've been working on a scant few structures as a diversion until the layout is...
I believe there is a mistake on your MPHS CD's. Ansom, KS is listed as a MP Depot, but I can only find it on the ATSF. If this is correct, and it really was...
I believe that is a typo and they mean Ransom, KS which is west of Hoisington on the Mop line to Pueblo. John Chambers ________________________________ From:...
