Greetings, I have ordered a short kit from Bob Hartford for the SPC ventilated box cars, as I compile my wood order I find I need the help of this wonderful group. First, what was the size of the floor planks, were they tongue and groove, ship lap or just plane planks? Second, what size was the sidi...

What is the disposition of the other box car?

Greetings,

I was under the impression that the ore cars were made of iron like the one shown below or were there two different classes of them. I suspect that the one with the number 101 is a better example of the cars.

John and Randy, Thanks for the input regarding the lumber size that the Carter Brothers might have used. I suspect that this is for a 10 ton car or at least I hope it is. I have sent an e-mail to Bob Hartford to see what his input is on this little dilemma that I am having. As to the trucks Bob at H...

This whole process started when I bought one of Accucraft's wonderful live steam Americans, the SPC #3 in green. It may not be 100% accurate for the SPC #3 but it is live steam and so what ...
