IHC Passenger cars
Posted by hobo9941 on Sunday, October 21, 2018 10:23 PM

A few years ago, there was a topic on here about upgrading IHC passenger cars. The search function here returns 0 results!

I am looking for 2 axle passenger car trucks, but with the bolster off center to the rear. No luck at Walthers. The search function here seems to be useless. I know I read the article here, about adding weight, interiors, etc. But no luck finding it.

Using the Google search, type or copy this in...

cs.trains.IHC Passenger cars

...look at the 4th down and you should find a number of related topics, I'm just not sure of the actual one you want.

Google search works better including cs.trains.com as one of the search words.

Was this it?

I bumped the original article,

For future reference, what is the cs.trains.com/  that brings up the searches?

The search box here is useless.

Hi,

https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433?visit_id=636757904635077312-1257152686&p=adv_pages_similar&hl=en&rd=1

Scroll down about half way under search site.

For most of the Kalmbach forums you would type

"site:cs.trains.com keyword"   into the Google search line.

Your 2015 thread comes up when I type

site:cs.trains.com ihc passenger

Good luck, Ed

Glad you found that thread. It was one that I started back in March, 2012.

The problem with the Search function on this forum is not that it cannot find an old thread but that it list results in chronological order with the latest thread appearing first. So, it requires patience in scrolling down through threads, sometimes for several pages.

In this case, I typed in the Search box, 'IHC Con-Cor' and my old thread showed up, 4 pages later.

By the way, when using the Search function on the forum, it is usually better to key in fewer words than more words.

Thank you Rich and everyone else who made comments. I made a copy to put on my workbench as this will be my winter project on my IHC cars.
