This board is the place where questions and information specific to MODELING the Reading Company, its equipment and operations can be shared - questions like "What was the window arrangement of AF Tower in Alburtis?" and "What color paint do YOU use to paint the Reading's cream-and-brown buildings?"

JoannaBill OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 422 Thank you received: 63	I think Bill passed away a couple years ago, but not 100%. Model Railroader had 2-articles about his layout August 1994 and October 1996. His excellent article on kitbashing RDG boxcars was in RMC NOvember, 1992.

tomjacobs OFFLINE Superintendent Posts: 177 Thank you received: 37	Yes, unfortunately Bill Gruber did pass away a few years ago, and his layout has been dismantled and his collection sold. He had written numerous articles on Reading subjects, including an article on kitbashing 3 types of Reading flatcars, one on kitbashing an SW1001 and an MP15, and some others as well. Tom

Mitch from Maine OFFLINE Engineer Posts: 136 Thank you received: 17	And an all-around great guy! When train shows were just starting in the early 80's to be a non-novelty, he was the only custom painter that would give you tips to do your own work-he was a Rdg color match guru- it was he and Bobb (and George) Losse that really advanced the "cause" of Rdg modelers 30 years ago...
