While I never got one of the REX flats, I recall that they were an upgrade from an AF flat by having open stake pockets! Bud Rindfleisch

Hey Thanks!! ‘51 to ‘61!!!! Roger Haag

The first ad in Model Railroader Magazine for Rex Engineering, Birmingham, MI appeared in the December 1951 issue, the last mention as a supplier: November 1961. Thank you, Matt Hogan

Maybe 1960’s or 1970’s? Do not know the beginning or end of the company? Roger

Hi Bob and Roger -- How old do you think that car is? It is fun to see it looking its age with a bent grab iron and stirrup step. I would bet that the real car it was modeled after didn't last as long

Bob, Here’s a photo of your car from the Way-Back machine to refresh your memory. Roger Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2025 4:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [S-Scale] REX Exact Scale To continue

To continue on the Rex cars-we shouldn't forget of two sub variants of the flat ( the scale version I can only assume).? Two batches of cars were sold under the Queen Tool and Die label.? One was

FYI, Paul Butkowski wrote up a technique for modeling this type of distortion and damage on his RailGons in the February_March_2024 issue of S Resource magazine. Tommy

I would imagine the effect is easy to replicate if you were using brass car sides. Just whack at it with a hammer here, there and everywhere :)

Hey I had no idea there were two versions for the on and flat car!!!! Roger Haag

Gordy: Thanks for the history - neat... You're talking about the one I still use! When I was a kid, my dad would say, "get the tinker, tinker, tinker can", from the sound it made. Since, to a little

By the time the effect is scaled down, it would likely fall under the heading of "not worth the trouble" and probably look more like a bad paint job. Rich G(ajnak)

It’s called ‘oil canning’ because the distorted metal will pop back and forth like the bottoms of older oil cans. You know the kind that allowed you to dispense a small amount by flexing the

This is an example of oil canning - the waviness of the steel sides due to welding. That would be very difficult to model. Thank You, Bill Lane Modeling the Mighty Pennsy, PRSL & Reading in 1957 in S

Someone said "mars paint". I was just pointing out there was a black pigment by that name.

Chris, I think the only loco that AM has done so far in the MARS paint is the FP40PH, but I could be wrong!!! Ed Sauers [email protected]> wrote:
