There is a dome car at Harbor Island lettered MRLX 9410 in gray with a blue stripe. I must have missed some news, anyone know why it's coming up? Curt...
That's one of the domes that ARR has leased from the operator of the former Montana Rockies Rail Tours. More info on this operation can be found at the...
Curt, Are you sure it didn't just come off the barge from Alaska? I understand that they were returning the former Montana Rockies Daylight equipment. I ran...
Curt and others, Does anyone know - I don't recall a brake wheel on these cars. My recollection is that they had a ratchet lever on the end of the car. Can...
Jason, Correct, ARR had the Universal ratchet style, not a wheel. Athearn's car has generic details and that's the best it's going to get. I've had to...
Curt, What other details need to be fixed? I agree the lettering is good, and one problem I've had with ECW gons is the car sides are often warped, so I look...
I was at Caboose Hobbies today and saw an announcement from Accurail of new 41'6" gons. They look like a match for the ARR gons. Now we just need them to...
Jason, Actually from the side a very good representation of the ARR short gon. ARR had different ends, but the overall effect would be good. Only other route...
Curt, Actually, I looked for a picture of an end to compare but could not find a good one. I can never find the Sunshine kits anywhere. The last one I saw on...

It has been reported 2 were on the outbound Whittier Dead In Tow. The other 2 were parked pending export. I think they are all out of service. I don't know...

If you are a paying member of www.trainorders.com you should be able to find your answer in the Modelers Section. I'm not a paying member or I'd search for...
Dave, There was an article in the Sept 2001 Model Railroading magazine. The article was on how to make a flared SD-70M. I am guessing it would be simular. As...

On my way to work Thursday morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see a southbound frieght leaving Fairbanks pulled by two MACs and one of the few remaining...
