Morning all, Finally aquired a camera that will take decent model shots. I've now posted 4 pictures of the kits that I've built of the 32 ARA cars. The only...
Pierre and list; Very nice work! You guys keep spurring me on to new hieghts of achievement. Very inspiring. I like the radial roof on the CP car; and, I ought...
Bruce and list; It's been a while since I logged on and am catching up. Like I mentioned to Pierre, you are inspiring me ever onward with your excellent...
Tom and list: I couldn't agree more! This is a great group, and with such talented and helpful members. I mean that in all seriousness. This little virtual...
Hello fellow VM'ers, Just curious as to what is going on with the VM group. We are well into the 2nd VM project (IIRC three per year) but no poll has come out...
... Tom: I have been in Connecticut for one week and am up to my ears in unpacking, setting things up, etc. I'd love the help. Right now, we should be...
I'd love to be building any one of the 3 gondolas that I ordered from Sunshine last December. However the 6 month wait is now into a 7 month wait. Just a...
Group Members, While I have not yet built a model with you guys, I wanted to offer the B&O Modeler magazine at www.borhs.org for your viewing. Most of you saw...
I have added photos of the 1932 ARA box cars that I built to the Files in the folder "1932 ARA Box_Culotta". They are: MP 30645 - Sunshine with Oddballs...
Hello fellow VM modelers, Ted has made me a co-moderator for this group. Ted is pretty busy with his move back east and could use one less responsibility. I...
... Pierre: If you look in the 32 ARA book, you'll see that the WM's ladders were stiles with holes in them to accommodate rungs that were bent from bar and...
The gondola is the next project up this year. Isn't it the third or was the X23 a holdover from last year? I started in the middle of that one. SS boxcars...
... Brian: I am not sure of the numbering because I followed the suggestion to move from 4 3-month projects per year to 3 4-month projects per year. I think...
... Tom, So this if for the project AFTER the 40' gons, right? As I've said before, it helps to be a bit more specific with car classes, since then we actually...
... In thinking about this some more...given that these are mostly Sunshine, we should look at this for the project after the project after the gons <G> ... ...
Bruce, I don't think Norwest kts fit my era. At least from what I recall on the STMFC list. Does Norwest have a website? I do have a Pocahonas Models N&W ...
... Brian, et al, The Norwest site appears to have moved (probably some time ago <G>) to: http://www.promodelbuilders.com/ The GTW reefer is one of "100 built...
Alright the note may have been confusing for those who lost track of the projects. The projects for this year have been: #1 - 1932 box car #2 - Sunshine gons...
Having built a number of Nor-west kits, I'd like to add my 2 cents. The reefers are great kits, as are his cabooses.Brain has a neat method for making ladders....
I took a look at the Norwest site at lunch, some kits look interesting and having never built one I would be interested. If Ted will indulge I have a few...
... Tom, I think we should be more specific... perhaps narrow it to at least wood reefers. Even then, there might not be much in common between me building...
If you want a specific choice then I would go as follows (and this gives us lots of room) Norwest Reefer, either Canadian prototype or NP Kalso Shops, 36'...
Guys, Since Sunshine kits are so hard to get (I just received my gondola order--I sent it in Nov '04), my vote is for an F&C or Westerfield car. A SS car isn't...
John, I think you are confusing Nor-West with Kaslo Shops. Kaslo Shops, F&C and Sylvan Scale Models all offer a CN 40' SS car. We CNR modlers know it as the...
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the virtualmodelers group: What car should we do for the 3rd project of 2005? Poll open until July 26. ...

... Note - the NP reefer is Norwest not Kaslo, and the CN, CPR reefers probably are too. I know Norwest makes CN and CPR reefers. Don't know if Kaslo does too....
If the Norwest NP reefer is chosen as a project, and even if it isn't, I have 4 rolls of photos of the prototype I'm willing to share with the group. I...
