Another web-show hits the streets with your favorite misfit as the Host. Come and see why the stiffs are getting up and stretching their disapproving fingers. MR&S show is the talk show that talks about what is up in the community and shares clinics and demonstrations, in each show. We interview unique and unknown modelers of all genres, not because we can't get the best, but because we heard it all before.

The Model Railroads and Structures show isn't for everyone, and that's cool with us...
 

Anyone know of a dedicated railroad source with simple information about fonts and the approximate time they were released.  I'm trying to get together info for a proposal to a decal guy here of decals I'd like to have for my steam locos.  Engine numbers would be simple single digits like #1 , #2, #3  and railroad name would be on tenders. The line is circa 1930 to 1940 at the latest. There are so many font choices available today, I'd like to make sure I'd be using one available in that era.

Does anyone know if the Intermountain HO scale Great Northern 12 panel 40' boxcar is modeled as the 10'-0" or 10'-6" interior height car?

Thanks.

In this project, we see a firmilliar sight: one of the tinplate cars intended for my friend. This car is beyond an affordable restoration considering its a gift, so after a idea popped into my head I asked if he minded my doing something else with the carbody than restoring it to rolling condition. After getting the OK, I did more thinking. Here's the plan. We're all firmilliar with the idea of old train cars being used as diners right? But they're always older cars than the current era as would make sense.
