Opinions/observations on HO rolling stock

Thanks for that tip, Dave.

For some reason, Wayne, I was thinking you were the one that gave me that tip originally.

Hmm. Could be, although I can't recall for sure. Anyway, after building the Intermountain car, I looked up the RibSide Cars version, then struck a deal with my good friend Mister Nutbar: He took the slightly-too-modern shortened-rib version and presented me with a new RibSide Cars kit for the original version with full-length ribs. It needs some Dullcote and a little weathering, then I'll post a picture. I found it to be a decent car, not as well-detailed as the more expensive Intermountain version, but not too difficult to upgrade with new grabs and steps, plus some more detailed brake gear. The information sheet on the prototypes is a great bonus and would be a welcome addition to any manufacturers' models, kit or r-t-r.
