Tom, Not that you can tell much more about it, but there is a Perma Built B&O gondola on eBay right now...built up still can't tell much about the ribs..
On the boxcar, do you mean the ends are gone or the end blocks are gone? gale ----- Original Message ----- From: Thomas Baker To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, November 12, 2012 8:18 AM Subject: RE: {S-Scale List} Kinsman Revisited Gale, I may have picked up a box car kit produced by you. The instructions say Wisconsin Central. It looks like a neat 50-foot box car. The ends are missing, but I can cut them from pine or possibly from basswood since the other parts are from basswood. I may get the courage to assemble it.

That was the company once run by Bob Blois, right?? I have an old built up Pennsy G22 gon and a 65' mill gon. My guess is the PRR car was Northeastern and the mill gon an old Regal kit picked up from their successor. Maybe that's why guys don't build kits - once built, you throw away the original box cuz the car won't fit in it and then forget where it came from! <GRIN> If you locate the plans, contact me off line...

They advertised the car as a 44' gondola. My inventory says I have the kit, so I should have the plans and instructions. I'll look for the plans ion a couple of days, and advise. > > Lee Johnson > > > > On Nov 11, 2012, at 5:56 PM, Jim Kindraka wrote: > > > > > I posted a photo (link below) of an old Kinsman or Regal(?) gondola kit I built (many!) years ago. Not entirely sure of its origin but I always liked it because it was deeper than most others. Truth be told I probably have more invested in the aluminum bales that fill the car! I have long since lost the plans, wish I had them, this car would be a not terribly difficult scratch project substituting styrene for the wood. > > > > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/S-Scale/photos/recent/1428856467/view > > > > > > Bob Werre, you asked me a while ago about the DCC installation in my UP Turbine. What exactly did you want to know? I've lost the message but will respond to the group if anyone is interested... Feels like we need to lower the steam pressure anyway and spend some time on the workbench... Mine is a mess!! > > > > Jim Kindraka > > Plymouth, WI > > > > > > > > > > >
