have?
thanks

Thanks Bob and Dan for those underbody shots. No wonder why even the
manufacturers shy away from putting all that 'stuff' under there. And no
wonder why the RR's didn't do a really good job of keeping those cars up in the
latter years.
Between listening to the convention speeches, waiting for paint to dry on a
caboose roof I dug out my old JC streamlined passenger cars. I had started all
four of them and some were pretty far along. One thing I did attempt was to
mimic the roof seams. Since the JC car roofs' were wood, I used a scriber with
decent results. The edges were a bit ragged but if you've ever been close to
those seams those builders included some bumps and puckers too. Some of the
cars also seem to exhibit what appear to be pop-rivets. What are all you folks
using?

I have created a new album in the Photos Section, "Bob's Building Passenger
cars", with the construction photos I used in the NASG Clinic presentation.
These should be of help as you construct the various Supply Car kits. Included
are several photos of underbody parts (to complement the underbody album) in
position on the cars, plus a look at how to create a BUDD dome car.
The "Bob's ACF, P/S & BUDD Cars" section has been updated with photos of
NYC, SR and SAL recently completed cars. Again, my hope is that these will
assist you in building your own models.
I have also added a photo of the prototype 41-N-11 passenger car truck to
better illustrate how to apply the BTS brass detail parts to the AM trucks.
This photo is posted in the underbody details album. The photo was taken on our
NASG trip and is of a Blue Ridge Scenic RR car.
