Vol. 7 Issue 8

August 2015

This month we bring you two new decal sets that modelers have been asking for lately. Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) Early Freight Cars and Minneapolis & St. Louis (MSTL) 40' & 50' Boxcars.

HO 87-1509 or N 60-1509: Minneapolis & St. Louis (MSTL) 40' & 50' Boxcars - The M&StL was founded in 1870, and expanded through rail line construction and acquisitions until the early 20th century. Most of the railway's routes were used lightly and subsequently the company's financial position was frequently challenged; the railroad operated under bankruptcy protection between 1923 and 1943. The M&StL was acquired by the Chicago and North Western Railway in 1960, and much of its former trackage was later abandoned.

HO 87-1510 or N 60-1510: The Pennsylvania Railroad (reporting mark PRR) was founded in 1846. PRR is often referred to as the "Pennsy," the PRR was headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The PRR was the largest railroad by traffic and revenue in the United States during the first half of the twentieth century. Over many years PRR expanded by acquiring or merging with hundreds of smaller road names. At the end of 1925, it operated 10,515 miles of rail line and in the 1920s, it carried nearly three times the traffic as other railroads of comparable length, such as the Union Pacific or Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroads. Its only formidable rival was the New York Central (NYC), which carried around three-quarters of PRR's ton-miles. This decal set will provide the graphics you need to decorate early 40' & 50' Boxcars. You can find some great photo examples on rrpicturearchives.net.

Do we have a "Solution" for you:

Micro-Mask (MI-7): Micro Mask Solution is like masking tape in a bottle. Just apply it with a brush, let it dry, and cut it to any shape you want with a sharp-pointed knife. Peel out the part where you want to paint, leaving an outer stencil mask, and paint with the method of you prefer. This solution is a must have in any modelers tool box. Just click the part# and put a bottle in your basket today.

We are working on some new Aircraft releases that you will see in next months newsletter. Thanks again for your loyal following and please send in your comments.
