Steelers Boxcar
To All: I painted and lettered this Steelers "What If" boxcar for my son James, a Steelers fan. The club's colors are black, gold and white. I did the art work. Yours, Elvin Howland/E. St. Louis Rail Group Layout

C&NW Stanray Sided Boxcar

To All: Today I present my scratch built C&NW Stanray sided boxcar. I modeled the car from a photo in a prototype rolling stock book. The decals were custom made for me by Ricky Rupp of Modern Rail Company. Having C&NW on both ends of the side was an unusual arrangement. Yours, Elvin Howland/E. St. Louis Rail Group Layout
Paint for locomotive ?
I will be painting an O scale Red Caboose GP9 in a very simple B&O scheme.
My online research has been hampered with out of date information now that PolyScale and Floquil paints are no longer available.
I would like to choose one manufacturer and stick with them, but which one? If you had to start from scratch and choose just one manufacturer of model paint what would it be and why ?
For you B&O fans, do you have a paint formula for the blue and yellow like the picture below?
Appearance of Couplers and of Rail - HO
Kadee couplers come in two sizes for HO, original size and "scale," which is still a little overlarge but more dainty than the good ol' 5's. I see much less posting about choosing one over the other, than I see about the 83 / 100 rail size debate. How come? It seems like much the same question.
Is it because the rigid "air hoses" are just as unrealistic for both?
