includes a notch at the interface with the corner to allow you to flow liquid ce- ment into the joint. After placing the first part onto the base and registering it in the corner, the second piece is then positioned on the base and the clamping mechanism is guided into place. You will feel the magnets pull the clamping mechanism into position on the base, sandwiching the parts between the base and the clamping mechanism. The parts are held firmly, but final adjustment of the parts can easily be accomplished. Now add the cementing media and allow it to dry. Removing the clamping system is achieved by simply pulling on the clamping mecha- nism to separate it from the base. We received a pair of both sizes for our
review from the manufacturer. Each pair is contained in a slide top storage case. The storage case will keep the var- ious parts together when not in use, es- pecially if you keep your tools in a non- compartmentalized tool box.
The samples arrived just in time to facilitate the assembly of a large scratchbuilt structure. The two visible sides are composed of resin castings which had thicknesses up to ⁵₃₂″. Any concern about the ability to hold these thick parts was quickly dispensed as the rare earth magnets held every- thing in place for cementing. The Rite-Way clamping system pro- vides an easily applied system for ce-

Models has given N scale modelers a new batch of 40-foot boxcars that are appropriate for a wide range of eras. The XIH boxcar was originally built by Magor in 1950, but in 1953 Pacific Car & Foundry was called upon to build more cars of this type. The desig- nation “XIH” refers to boXcar Insulat- ed and Heated. The insulated cars were capable of keeping their internal temperature stable by way of a small propane heater placed underneath the car. The cars were used to transport perishables such as potatoes and flour. Outside of the potato season, these cars were used to transport “clean” car- go such as paper products. They lasted on different railroads in various paint schemes well into the 1980’s. The XIH boxcars in this run are all “serviced” cars. These are not as deliv- ered schemes but are either re-stenciled or repainted cars. The paint schemes of- fered are Bangor & Aroostook “State of Maine”

The Okee Inc. car as well as the Conrail 350527 car have had their roofwalks removed as part of their last servicing.
As with all Eastern Seaboard Models products the paintwork is flawless. The
