Recollections of a Railfan/Modeler - They were Buffalo - Jerry Moyers
Branchline Trains Yardmaster Series AAR Boxcars - Wally Tabor
Parting Shot

Jerry Moyers' Recollections is about the Union Railroad's distinctive repowered Baldwin locomotive. The DRS 6-6-1500 locomotives, with their high EMD hoods, towering above the cab, and their chopped nose, they indeed resembled a Buffalo. Wally Tabor compares the Branchline Trains new Yardmaster Series boxcars with their Blueprint Series. It's a discussion of quality detail vs. durability.
