Bob Uniack, who hails from Los Angeles, is best known for his 1:32 scale models of standard gauge freight cars built up from urethane castings. His models have graced the pages of Finescale Railroader (formerly Outdoor Railroader) on several occasions and at one time were offered as kits under the name of Milepost Scale Models. Bob's first venture into 1:20.3 standard gauge came about in 2005 when he began construction of a Southern Pacific B-50-14 outside braced boxcar. Bob had formerly modeled this same car in 1:32 scale and has provided a few pics for comparison. Bob has also created both Bettendorf T-section and U-section trucks (single truss and double truss as they are also known) for the same. He may be reached at milepostla@earthlink.net
