It depends on the weight capacity it is designed to carry.
Examples

33 = 70 ton
36 = 100 ton
38 = 120 ton

High Cube will be 33" wheels.

No it is not real, I just wanted to see how far it will go.

Has anyone visited that big ATSF cargo yard in Barstow?


Just kidding...

Should I wait till April first?

THOSE models!

Do our really want a smoker?

I was raised in a home in which my parents stir fried our dinner 95% of the time. The oil from the stir frying got on EVERYTHING in the kitchen and in the dinning room. Just think of what the oil smoke from a steam locomotive can do to your layout.

Now Rapido has a steam generator car that is said does not use oil to make smoke.

All my plastic knuckle couplers are replaced with KD. The plastic couplers are used on my caboose to reduce "pulled drawbar".

Model railroad rolling stock are made in batches.

Chalk one up for non-modelers working at a railfan establishment.

Check their Model Master series paint.

Testor brought Floquil and Pactra into their family a few years back.
Everything is now "Testor".

Rail cars carries freight, not cargo.

I'm sure Mr B passed the idea on as suggested in Nov and Dec 07.
