When was this car first produced, and where would one get decals for it?

Hi Bill;
What is interesting is that is not just a PRR flatcar, but an F22 Gun car:

Normally used in pairs to carry large naval rifles and similar objects. In this
case, it's just a heavy duty flat car.
Now that would be an impressive

I think alot of the stockcars were whitewashed inside with lime and also on the
Katy cars with the black and yellow sides I believe the black was a tar
product, probably coated inside also.

Hello 2-Rail O-Scalers (Standard and narrow gauge) and S-Gaugers
The 13^th Annual O scale meet has been arranged for September 29th,
I went to Okonomowoc with the idea of a possible hosting of the NASG big show.
Roy Meissner and the rest of the group were great hosts, very helpful. As was

The old idea of buy it while you can seems to be correct in this instance.
If you see a product that you ever will want, BUY IT NOW is

We do have a standard underside layout put together by Bob Hogan which he
uses, but each RR had their own ideas about where to put the under body fitting
and accessory passenger equipment. This naturally leaves a lot of discretion
to the individual modeler building our Passenger

I'll take what I can get. The ACE bolsters have use beyond conversions of AF

This is a great time to suggest we all stock up on spare wear--tear parts --

Good question about who has the molds now? Another question is whether
