Oh my lord that is amazing! I'm in the Netherlands, and likewise a scratchbuilder, but man this is way better than my builds!
Hehe. Originally (If I get my PRR history right) they were a 50 ton coke car. Coke is lighter by volume than coal, so the car was rated at 50...
I got it! It's for the early version with the clamshell doors, but it's an H21! [IMG]
Hey Dan, Thanks much! I have spent probably *days* worth of time on the prr.railfan.net site. It is a gold mine for anything Pennsy, and thus,...
Thanks guys! It is indeed good to be back. With loads of Real Life Stuff, I have been rather predisposed. I want to get Teichmoller's book, but...
I have, in fact, located drawings for the GLa from an old issue of Car Builder's Cyclopedia. So, yep, H21a is my biggest gap in PRR stuffs!
Hi all. I have checked my usual sources (Haithi Trust, Google, etc) for a good drawing (not a simple clearance diagram in this case) of a PRR...
If I upgrade, I hope to get a Super 7 or a Compact 8. I love the Unimat but it does have limits. If I get a 2nd lathe, I can just use the Unimat...
Hi Dan, Thank you much for your kind comment. I assure you, not everything I build turns out so well!
Hi Boxcab! If a British wagon had standard manual-only brakes, the undersides are pretty sparse. Those that are vacuum braked however have a load...
Hello all. Been a while since I posted over here. For the past couple years I was more active on a British train forum, as I switched over to...
Lovely stock on a lovely layout! Thank you for sharing this. 0 gauge seems perfect for British outline models; I love my Dapol panniers.
Someone was trying to make an Erie switcher I'd say. Certainly looks the part. Wanna sell it? [img]
Favorite ever? B&Os EL class 2-8-8-0s. Favorite that I have a model of in N scale? Probably my Kato Mike / C&O K3 bash.
I've removed the paint from the sides of the M26b. I left the data, as I will mask over this when I respray; as this was repainted all the time,...
We've added a pair of M26 boxcars to the freight car roster, along with a Tichy war emergency mill gondola kit which will be decorated for NYC. I...
Thanks guys. 1.4 x 4 mm. Should be able to get that from my local industry parts and supply place!
Thanks much! I have been a B&O fan since forever, and the fact I am planning the layout as a modular thing makes it easier to have more than one...
0-80! Thats it! Most tenders come with the holes drilled for the coupler boxes with two screws that go in the little ears. I just bit the bullet...
A model of a WM station that I scratched up, but never did quite complete... [img]
