Scored big today at a local train show.
Issues 1 thru 29 of RPC for $35.00!!!! 

I have never seen these before today so know nothing about them. I did quick look through and they have a wealth of info
in them. Can anyone tell me more about the publisher? I cannot find a web site and want to know if there are more issues beyond 29.

Also once I went through them I have found out that I have 2 #26 and am missing #24.
If anyone has 24 and needs 26 maybe we can make a swap. I see I am going to have some significant reading for a while!!

Very much jealous.

I believe it ended at volume 34 with 31-32 being a combined issue.  Some of those go for pretty good money.

I'm always on the lookout for the one with the Phosphate cars (Volume 4?).

That has to be the deal of the year...
I have a hand full of issues and paid well over that...

Yes it is issue 4 Jason. There are 13 pages dedicated to it.
Is there some info in the article that you need?

It was a car I was interested in trying to draw up for printing a few years ago, but I've up to my ears in projects now that it's way down the list.  I would be interested in knowing the type of drawing that's included with the article.  Is it just a shop diagram with just the basic dimensions, or more of an general arraignment drawing that gets down to the bolt sizes?

@wcfn100

It's a shop diagram with just the basic dims.  (pg 74)  You still at owlmtmodels@yahoo.com or am I mixing you up with another? 

BTW, as a kid who hails from Rochester, love the Jolt Cola logo.   If you don't know, it's back! https://www.joltcola.com/

Congrats.  You got a steal.  When then first came out the asking price was $20.95.  Each.  As some are rare and in demand, they often go for that and more still.
