Group, In his wisdom, Larry Bowen turned over ownership of this list to me. I can live with that and handle most if not all of list activities - BUT - I'm not...
Good Morning Bob, With all due consideration the members of the list decided to forego trying to put together a module for this convention for this year and...

Quick question for you guys; which company would you say produces the most detailed F-unit models in HO? I myself am a steam era fan, but thought I might as...
Hi Shane, Athearn Genisis is by far the best F units out there....some time in 2005 they are suppose to run 2 sets of ABBA F3s, for the FP7 Roco (Atlas) is...
Shane: which company would you say produces the most detailed F-unit models in HO? ... I prefer the Stewart models. Beautiful runners. There is another company...
For the most detail, it's got to be the Athearn Genesis units, hands down. The Stewart models are great runners, especially the older Kato powered units, but...
Thanks for the info. I guess I will have to wait for a few months then to get a good F unit then. Which is just as well since I don't have a place to run it...
All, In the October Model Railroader, News & Products, Intermountain Railway CO. is coming out with an FP7A in FEC. But their website did not mention it two...
Shane, You mentioned that you talked with Branchline at the NMRA show. Do they have the correct coach numbers? I see at the Walthes site, that the car is...
I just hope Intermountain scales down their handrails and grabs on the FP7's because their last F units had railings that looked more like pipes because they...
I am actually not sure. They just said they were doing them. But they claimed they had accurate pictures. You should give us all a review of the sleepers. ...
Dave, It was Highliners, not Intermountain, must have been a senior moment. The shells could be the old Roco FP7A that Atlas did and then E & R Models did,...
Will do, there have been many reviews on the Yahoo passenger car site, even links to review and helpful hints to assembling them. If anyone is interested in...
Chuck, You may be right about the Roco shell, but I'm hoping it's a little bit better quality. That shell had some real problems with the nose. I remember Jim...
Well, I picked it up today. It looks nice and as a kit, it has alot of parts. The side printing only has Pullman and the name Lake Michigan. Since this car...
Jeff, A while ago we talked about the open ended observation cars. Have you seen the drawings of the new Walthers heavy weight obs. It looks very similar to...
Hi Chuck, thanks for the info, wouldn't you know after all my cars were decaled I decided not to model the FEC in the steam era and am now modeling FEC as it...
Hi Jeff, I am sorry to hear that you want to sell the cars, but the show should be the best place to do it. If you have any left over after the show, let me...
My father and I have been working on decals for the society as of late; most recently West India Fruit. The big question now is what sets to we print for the...
Shane, I think you are right. Did we make a chart of these four styles to show what, how many cars and when they were in use? This may help. If a style was...
Chuck Here is the chart you asked about. There were also other cars not listed on this list (I have a picture of a WIF mechanical reefer numbered 800), which I...
I uploaded two new photos to photo section. A builders photo of the a Belcher Asphalt tankcar and a picture of the same car my father made for a Christmas gift...
