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?" We also want to hear about YOUR Reading modeling projects!

LNE-401 OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 197 Thank you received: 68	I've been kicking an LOa project around, so with that said I dug through my collection of articles and prints. Unfortunately, came up with nothing. On a positive note, Detail Associates FC 6218 is a round covered hatch that very closely resembles those in the Bossler book photos. Bill
