Denny, Have you check my site list for SP Freight cars? http://xoomer.alice.it/enzo_fortuna/SP_Freigth-1_Nscale.htm You find reference to some IM numbers. Maybe are not recent release, but usable to search on shops and ebay. Just 2 cents. Cheers Enzo Fortuna
Of course I did check your page. Most of the cars listed are however a little too old for my 1970s era... And I certainly had fun painting and decaling the undecorated boxcars, afterall
Hi, I just started to build an elevator in N scale, and would happily see more pics about yours! Since I live in Hungary and I have never been to America, I appreciate every pic, almost everything is new to me I'D like to see details and close-ups especially, since there aren't too many pics on the internet about those... This was my first reply, I hope I did everything well. Sorry for my bad English, Greetings from Budapest, Levente
Grain Elevator The grain elevator on the LK&R Ry. is the Walthers kit with extra silos and the yard office from BLMA Models. We are HO but the photos might give you some ideas. Some excellent work by others in previous post photos. Use plastic pipe instead of cardboard tubes. Much easier to work with and more durable.
Thanks for the pics. I've already bought a 50mm tube, but I think I need a bit smaller than that, maybe a 40mm or a 32mm. I guess I will choose the 32mm tube, 3*6 maybe...
Search for "Grain" I did a search for "grain" in the title and located this two year old thread and exactly the picture I was searching for. The search engine is a good tool here on TB. It doesn't search for words or symbols three characters or less in length. This means no search available for NYC, SP, GN, CR, oil, MT, box, red, low, hi, bad, fix, out, in, wet, dry, not, yes, no, hot, etc. You get the idea. So plan your titles accordingly even if it means spelling out a few words. It really helps the search engine. My two cents, there. I'll create another thread on this if any interest. Thanks.
Good information on old grain elevators and how they operated. The history begins in 1827 and continues through the growth of Buffalo, NY. In the 1880s, Buffalo, NY was the largest grain port in the world.
