Bud and John, Thanks for responding to my request for pictures of SHS TOFC cars.
Bud I was interested in the mixed trailer and flatcar. Thanks for posting the picture. John I envy the patience to strip and paint 10 of those cars (and trailers). I realize those are great books you mentioned, however, not sure the few pictures I need are worth the investment. I appreciate the copyright concerns. I have eleven cars in various roads. I was hoping to detail them a little with some of the weathering advice recently shared by the list, installing NWSL code 88 wheelsets, SHS couplers, and a few other odds and ends. Still looking for more pictures if anybody can point me in the right direction. thanks again, Billy Click Llano, TX On Apr 2, 2011, at 9:25 AM, vito4cal wrote: > --- In [email protected], Billy Click <bclick@...> wrote: > > > > List, > > I can't remember if this has been covered before.
