HO / Union Pacific Caboose
May 02, 2012, 07:18:57 PM
We have two HO Union Pacific cabooses with the same number 207. One is all yellow and the other has a yellow body and red top.  One has the Union Pacific red, white & blue Logo, the other does not.  Which #207 has the correct color scheme, which is older, why do both have the same number and why does only one have the logo?  Thank you.

Plasticville U.S.A. / TV Station ?
October 31, 2011, 07:17:40 PM
Hi!  I have a TV Station and a question about the colors. The roof and the square base for the antenna are red.  Both parts of the antenna and the top tip are white.  The  WPLA letters on the sign and sign itself are also white.  Here's the question: As described, is my TV station color combination as issued or did the previous owner kit bash it?  (All the other TV stations I've seen have two color antennas and color contrasting WPLA on the sign.)  As always, many thanks.

Plasticville U.S.A. / Color - Surprise
October 29, 2011, 02:59:34 PM
Hi!  There are many color variations of the items in the kits.  Wouldn't it be nice to be able to know the exact colors without having to open the plastic wrap and the box   ???     Sort-of, maybe, indicating the color on the box.

Also, maybe showing an actual picture of an item instead of an artist's rendition.

Just my 2 cents.     As always, many thanks.

Plasticville U.S.A. / Modern Switch Tower 45973
October 29, 2011, 02:47:14 PM
Hi!   If this was covered in a previous post, please bear with me.

I've used Plasticville for over 50 years, first in HO, now in O.  99+% of the items I have are dated.   The other day, I purchased a modern switch tower, 45973, that I thought I could work into my layout.

I was wondering if anyone has shared my impressions of this item:
        Much thiner material than my older Plasticville.
        Ladder wider and flimsier than those on the water or coaling towers.
        Door does not open.
                (Outline is part of wall & same color. Doesn't really show up)
        Overall:  "It will do"....for now!

As always, thanks for your opinions.

Hi!  I have an "O" gauge extruded aluminum baggage car marked Railway Express Agency #2540. It has a gray top and gray shaded sides. The silver trucks are marked WILLIAMS.  My question: Would anyone know what railroad line name plate was originally on this car and when it was made? I've tried to match it to pictures of Williams aluminum baggage cars but none of the ones that I've seen have the gray tops or sides.

Many thanks.
