Tim, I'll send along the photo, but it is not that good. Just good enough to barely tell what's going on. Par for the course in that era! By the by, I was...
All, I have thought about doing resin sides for this car. I have Mont's kit of the Gloor Craft NKP 35' 50ton 2-bay hopper. As most things around my basement,...
Hi Guys, Has anybody from this groupe or the historical society contacted Overland Models about doing some brass deisel locomotive projects? I would like to...
Does any one know if any F units had dynamic brakes? Im in the process of building a few in N scale and all my photos are from the front or sides. I know that...
William, I can assure you the Monon F3's did not have dynamic braking. In fact no dynamic braked locos were used on the Monon until after it was sold. My good...
Thanks George. That helps. I did notice that on photos of 84B and 207 there was pipping on the roof running next to the fans to the steam generator. What was...
William, You might want to check out a Bill Darnaby article that ran in Mainline Modeler in May 1982 called 'Monon F-unit Painting Guide'. It has a lot of...
Hey All, I got a little time in last night on the Accurail hopper. I painted it last weekend a mixture of boxcar red and oxide which is a good steam era Monon...
Hi Mike, Thanks for the info and thanks for the nice article in the Model Railroader Model Railroad Planning 2006. It is nice to get some ideas from other...
Mark, No Monon didn't engine had dynamic brakes although they sure could have used them with variences in terrain. It doesn't surprise me the Pennsy had them....
George, I was kidding you because you said that nothing with dynamics ran on the Monon, but other railroads engines that had dynamics did run on the Monon. I ...

Mark, What was the routing on those Derby specials. Were your family members on with the PRR or Monon at the time? Were they "pilots"? So many...
Hi all, I have added a couple shots of the bridge on my layout. It still need some work and I am waiting on the two spans made by Micro enginering for the...
Mike, As far as I know, they were Chic. to Lville. We would go down to 5th street to watch them go north after the race. I also think that they were run as...
Mark, Thanks for the info. The reason I was wondering is that one of the cool things about modeling the Monon is the extra passenger trains like the ones your...
I took out the cable and added the diagonals. There are different types of piers on the bridge. Some are limestone, some are limestone incased in concrete. The...
Chad, About what height are the real piers? Are you doing it to scale or cutting it back to fit? Are all the piers the same size? Sorry for all the questions....
William, I would guess that the real piers are around 20' - 25' high. I will make mine around 4" from the bench work to the top of the rail so 1/4" or so will...
Group, I finally got over to the hobby shop last week and got the eyebolts I needed to finish the tool car I'lve been doing. These are for the corner...
Chad, What are your piers made of? Mike Aufderheide ... will make mine around 4" from the bench work to the top of the rail so 1/4" or so will be "water". Some...
Mike, Right now I have the walthers and chooch piers but it looks like I might be making them out of hydrocal or plaster to grt ones that look right. I will...

Hello All, I was browsing some old Model Railroader magazines and came across a CI&L color chart in the August 1948 issue. It is noted at the top of the chart ...
