HO Scale

Currently available exclusively from Whistle Stop Trains of Portland are the USRA double sheathed boxcar, by Accurail. The earlier version in the as delivered scheme is no longer available.

Also available is the 50′ Gunderson-built boxcar in BN green with yellow lettering, from LBF. I have seen a few of these offered on ebay.

The 318xxx panel door cars should be into The Whistle Stop by the end of April. The next car, coming in about 4 weeks, is the 13040-55 and 13176. These cars were built by the GN St Cloud shops in July 1949.

MOW tankcar X-85, by InterMountain, is also available from Whistle Stop Trains of Portland.

HO/N Scale

Union Station Products produces undecorated plastic passenger car
sides which are applied to Eastern Car Works, Brass Car Side’s core or
American Limited Models core kits to produce accurate models of specific
cars. The construction concept is the same idea as has been offered from
Brass Car Sides. These sides are available in HO and N scales and are
produced directly from Pullman-Standard, Budd and other car builders
original plans. Note: the numbers are the Pullman-Standard plan number.
These cars can be ordered via
Mark’s site. N scalers will want to read the ordering instructions
carefully.

SP&S; Advertising signs. Available only through the SP&S; Company store. These signs are based on original signs that could be found in the Portland area.

The “Our Wheels are just as big” is available only in HO Scale. This sign is based on the Atlas billboard.

The “Ship and Travel” sign is available in both HO and N scale. It comes as a one sided sign. In order to produce the double sided sign, as original, it will take two kits. The smaller sign can be used for a distant HO sign. And the larger sign will work for O scale as well. This sign was custom made by Blair, exclusively for the SP&SHS.;

See the Company Store for ordering information.
