Reefers on the Erie

I am modeling the Erie Railroad, in HO, in 1951,  its centennial year of operation.  I am particularly interested in its fast freights dedicated to shipping perishables from Chicago to the NY metro area.  From what I know, the Erie had a dominant position in this market, surpassing larger rivals NYC and PRR.  A particular specialty seems to have been shipping California citrus to the east.

Open side passenger cars for backlot tour layout.

I'm looking for a recommendation on a manufacture that has open passenger cars for a motion picture tour lot layout my son and I are doing.  I will be running diesels and other cars around the layout, but my son wants to find a small steam engine and tour cars.  Kind of what is pictured here.

Any recommendations? 

We are modeling in HO scale.   Thanks in advance for any help.

PRR E-loc insolators

Hi all,

         Does any one know a source of PRR insulators for E-loco pantos? I am doing both a L5 and L6 (HO) and having a supply on hand would be good(and save my knees!).These are brass models and it seems there are two different sizes,...

 

Thanks for any help,Dr Dirt

GE E10B Steeple Cab

I'm going to try and build 2 of these steeple cabs for me and a friend. Now I've searched the net and found every thing that has been put out there on these electric engines.

There were 7 of them built for the Niagara Junction Rwy., numbers 14 through 20. Pictures can be found here: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locoList.aspx?mid=1200

Always-on headlights...

When did it become standard practice for locomotives to always run with the headlights lit?  I know that earlier ones ran them at night.  I'm working on the 1920's/30's North Central's equipment, and need to know.

GP 40 Needs ditch lights

I need some help wiring some ditch lights. The picture is of a Atlas GP 40 Gold series. The plug in the middle of the picture is for the head lights and number boards. It has 6 plugs, but only two are being used. When I plug the ditch lights in I can not get them to work at all. If the touch the head light wires the work fine. Any ideas how to make this work?

 

When did Hi-Cube boxcars come out?

When did the hi-cube 60' boxcars make their debut?  I have an Athearn Genesis hi-cube that came with me Badger airbrush--bought at Springfield.  I'm contemplating decorating it as an anniversary car for my freelance North Central, which is a descendant of the Sandy River and Rangely Lakes, founded in 1870.  (The North Central expanded to include some Standard Gauge in later years...)

Decal Help

Hi,

I'm in the process of creating a prototype CN hopper and I plan to repaint a old center beam to CN. The thing is, Microscale Inc. doesn't have any center beam decals except for 'HO Minical'. I've never seen these sort of decals before and I don't know if they will work. Does anyone know if these will work for N scale or is there another manufacturer of N centerbeam decals?
