Bob I was hoping you would chime in. I guess I should have waited a few minutes more before typing my last reply. Thank you for the info and also confirming my conclusion on GE delivering all 6 with

Thanks Scott for the info. I have the Southern Motive Power 68-82 book, but was (still) confused by it listing only 3815 and 3816 as RC equipped units. The Paul Withers Southern Motive Power 1939-1982

SOU B36-7 3815, 3816 were equipped with Locotrol and had the 3 antennas on the roof. The Locotrol equipment was deactivated in 3815-3816 circa 1984. The 1985 NS form 1014 shows these 2 equipped only

We have the Specifications, order quotes and documentation on virtually every diesel the Southern purchased starting in 1940. Let’s remember, and make the time to check the file on the B-36-7s for

According to the Withers & Sink book "Southern Motive Power 1968-1982" only the 3815 and 3816 had RC gear. Only two are pictured in the book, 3815 and 3818, both in 1986. Both had black

Here's some questions for the motive power gurus. I have just received my Rapido B36-7's. Rapido chose to model numbers 3816, 3818, and 3819. All three have the white number boards with black

Ike- Have you happened to run across any lettering diagrams for a Richmond & Danville boxcar? Thanks Matt Bumgarner

Ryan, No problem. What you describe is essentially what I recommended Dan do to be able to model a whole train but he declined to do it. What you describe is a great approach to effectively model

Great find, Ike! A high resolution version of this would be very helpful. Thanks for sharing it. -- Ryan Harris Fort Worth, TX

I am familiar with Dan's model and it is fantastic. I understand why he built only one. And I didn't mean to diminish any of the work he did on that model by making the point that the kitbash boiled

“Thin” Southern road name lettering For years, I have thought, and told people, that SRHA did not have a stencil drawing of the last version of the “thin” Southern road name lettering. In the

Ryan, In regards to your assertion that the SOU 4-bay ortners are an easy kitbash, I have to disagree. My good friend Dan Bourque built one of these cars and he said to get the model correct it was

I find the attachments very useful and understand the need to delete. Keep doing what needs to bedone.

Advance warning of what you are deleting would be helpful. Sent from the iPhone of the Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech -- John Ryan

All: We will keep allowing attachments to posts but it is about time to delete attachments from earlier messages to reduce our storage at groups.io. We think some of the past attachments have been of

Thanks for confirming the information Jason provided, Ike. Looking back at the builder's photos of the Greenville 3600cf open hoppers in the 1984 Car & Locomotive Cyclopedia the class label "HS58" is

Ryan: Jason Greene is correct that Southern never had car classes. Any photo you see of a Southern freight car with a class designation was taken after the Sou/NS merger. At that time, the new NS

I see what you mean about the term "stenciling" Ike. I have run across drawings that lay out where each individual stencil is to be applied, which I believe is what you're referring to. Those drawings

That's interesting, Jason. I'm certainly no expert on Southern railcars. I was using the terminology used in Andrew Dow's book, Norfolk and Western Coal Cars. In Appendix H there is a listing of "Coal

That's interesting, Scott. I'd be very interested to know when it wore the blue paint. I used to live in Newnan, Georgia not far from Plant Yates and Plant Wansley, so ever since I saw the publicity
