Dave and Anyone Else Who Cares,
The Chester cars and the JC Models cars that followed them, along with
several other bits of S Scale history (Mid Gauge?) are best used to model cars
from Pullman Standard or ACF prototypes because of the smooth roofs. By

The cars I have are all the pre-war PS pattern, that is, the upper letterboard
is half smooth, half-corrugated. I have never seen, let alone owned , any
smooth-side cars. The only possible exception is several cars that are smooth
except for a horizontal rail above and below the windows; I

Many of Doc Johnson's Midgage cars are down here on a complete train
owned by Jack Troxell. They have never been detailed but when his
layout was running weekly it took a lot of power up front to move them.

Howdy Mike,
Your model is absolutely beautiful. Have you done other Missouri Pacific models? Would love to see more of your work. Not too many modelers who do MoPac in S scale. The Missouri Pacific modelers group would love to see yourengine as well. Thank you for your work and
Mike:
Superb effort. I'll wager there's only a handful of modelers today that can

Thanks for sharing.
