Thanks for the replies, seems to be a bit of a debate about it. I suppose the rules varied from railroad to railroad. Is there any way of finding out if the Union Pacific or Oregon Shortline did this in the '50s? An old photo showing it would be nice, but I've never seen one. It would be unique detail to rig a scale flag to fit on HO scale couplers. I'll bet it could be attached with Woodland Scenics accent glue so it could be moved from car to car.
In the days of the caboose, what were the regulations regarding the position of the caboose? When running a local freight, if the crew picked up a car could they couple it to the rear of the train behind the caboose; or was it a rule that the caboose be the final car on a train? In the movie Emperor of the North, I believe, they show the local freight with a flat car behind the caboose. However, I wouldn't trust that to be accurate any farther than I could throw Lee Marvin. Thanks in advance. James
I would like to report that I have substituited Scuptamold for the Celluclay in 'ground goop' and it works quite well.

I still see a lot of white lines in the middle of the road. So it must depend on the area. I remeber reading something that said stop sign used to be different in the '50s.
Can somebody tell me of one shipper who decided what railroad to use becuase he saw a model? Perhaps, in the days of passenger rail this was a better agrument. Nobody complains about all the "free advertising" the NFL gets and their licensing fees are much higher than UP.
They were shipped from Houston and just arrived. I'm taking a few months break from this. So farewell for now.
They were shipped from Houston and have just arrived. I'll be taking a break from this most likely for a few months. So in the words of Neil Diamond "Long gone baby is what I'm gonna be, long gone pack up and save my soul."
