What's yer' Power?

[Maxwell Plant]

Tell us what sort of motive power your railroad uses and why.

The AOW uses diesel-electric power that isn't any older than second generation. It's a pretty even balance between EMD and GE but we have no Alcos.(Sorry, Alan!) Most of the locos are in BNSF colors or BNSF "retagged and numbered". The rest is either AOW or SP/UP. (Actually, we currently have no UP/SP Power, but are looking at getting some again.) We do have an A-B-B-A set of F-9's in BN Cascade Green and Black, but those are used for "Special Operations and Business Entertainment Runs" or "SOBER" Trains. Things like "Operation Life Saver" and attracting new Businesses to the railroad.

Well that explains alot. You go some pretty old stuff there watash. The last time I saw a Revell F-unit, it was in a book printed in 1969, third addition, "The Book of Model Railroading". It was my MRR Bible for years but now it's a bit out of date. http://www.trainboard.com/frown.gif Great book in it's time, but the most I can get out of it now is some sceanery tips, although I wouldn't use some of the stuff they used back then, chemicals are too harsh or the end result is too heavy. I don't want you to think I'm putting down the old days, but I'm sure glad we have moved on and have improved EVERYTHING IN ALL SCALES, that includes couplers my friend. As long as you install the KayDee/Micro-Trains/McHenery/Accumate couplers CORRECTLY, they can't be beat. But, that's just the opinion of a not-so-old-but-old-enough, dog. http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif We love your ideas, keepem' coming!

[watash]

Your right Brent, that Revel Deexul is so old its got wrinkles! On another thread I told about trying to use pulse power and back into a couple with all the couplers you mentioned, but unless The car I wanted to pick up happened to be sitting over a magnet with coupler already opened, I could not make the knuckle open inorder to couple. So I'll stay with my faithful Mantua's. The new scenery stuff, I agree. Got some great stuff now days. Still very delicate, though. That's why I think the old Banner Company cast-iron trees are better, they are still standing when you climb back down off the table. http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif

[Maxwell Plant]

Well, the ramp is for uncoupling, not coupling. Sounds to me you didn't put the centering springs in the draft gear box or they were in there wrong. Like I said, I think you didn't have them installed correctly. If you did, you wouldn't have ANY of the problems you did. The coupler would "center-up" on the ramp and as soon as you moved off, "click", they would lock. But you stay with those hook-n-loops if that's what works for you.

[watash]

You are correct Brent, They are for uncoupling ONLY. I had the couplers professionally mounted, and tested at a club, approved by several of that club's "experts". OK? Then, I asked them to run my engine back and couple onto my flat car and show me how it is supposed to work. The flat car with 'their' coupler, and the engine with 'their' coupler. I took my finger and pushed the flat about three inches away from the magnet in their track. The club "expert" backed my engine into the flat, no couple and the flat coasted about 12" down the track! Lots of hoots from the other "experts" as is always the case at clubs, and eventually all of them had a go at it. None coupled on unless the flat was on a magnet! None! Then I reached into my tool box and started adding weight onto the flat car, in answer from the "experts" that my flat was not heavy enough. I laid a plumber's block of lead on the flat, they hit it at about 4 MPH but the flat still rolled away. I put the other block on beside the first; all the room there was. That was two one pound blocks. They tried again, off magnet, then I said it wont do it, they said it will! SO! I shoved the flat off the magnet, ran my engine down the track about ten feet, flipped it in reverse, and said stand back! I gave it full throttle, and crashed into the flat at full bore! The Couplers DID NOT OPEN! Sorry.

Hey Maxwell Plant, would you look in your book, "The Book of Model Railroading", and see if it is the one that has a chapter on "Tips On Repairing and Lubricating Model Rolling Stock"? I think that book is one I have been looking for if it has that or a similar chapter. As I remember, the book had wiring, benchwork, kit assembly, scenery, and stuff like that in it. I need some info on getting into some of the many older types, (although still new in the box), of diesels. Some of these have screws, so are easy to 'open up', while others have a kind of snap-together method of getting the body off. These were designed under DFA specs, so are not manufactured with disassembly in mind. I worked under these brutal specs. several years. The idea was to invalidate the warranty if you break into their product, instead of sending it to them for any repairs. That was the other reason for it, they could make money off you again, see? Let me know about the book. Thanks.

------------------
Watash

[Maxwell Plant]

Actually, it's called "The Encyclopedia of Model Railroading" and it didn't have anything about repair and lubrication of rolling stock. It did have something about cleaning the running gear and drive-train in steam loco's, but it entailed dipping the mechanisim in a solution while running, something I wouldn't recommend trying today. I'm sure the solution is too caustic and isn't avalible now. I'll have to unpack my books to find it and I'll get back to you on this.

Maxwell, when you have the time, and do find this book, see if it has a dark green cover (if hard bound), and in the very back last pages it has small photos of all kinds of engines, cranes, freight & passenger cars, and oddities. The original paper book protector was bright orange with a photo of a boy and his dad looking at a steam engine. Along about the middle of the book are a number of white line blue prints showing all the different ways one can assemble Lionel 0-27 type track into track patterns.

[Maxwell Plant]

Hard bound cover on my book is a dark brownish-black and cream colored binding. This book deals with a lot of Ward Kimbell's collection in the first chapter, but mostly an HO scale book with a little O Scale. N and 027 isn't even metioned and TT is the "newest" scale. I doubt we are talking about the same book. It's packed away somewhere because I don't us it anymore, it's really dated, more of a look at our past than anything.

The Orca Mt. RR has for primary motive power ten GG1-Ds purchased from the Pennsy when they unloaded most of those beauties for more modern stuff. We installed some surplus GI Navy submarine diesel engines to avoid having to string cantinary [sp?] all over the mountains here in NW Arizona. We ended up with horsepower figures real close to what the original GG-1s put out, and added a touch of class to western mountain RRing at the same time! Curt

Here goes more on the Orca Mt. RR: I decided to build a model RR that would represent the area I live in if the real RRs had "done it right" originally. There is lots of copper, coal, cattle and timber in NW Arizona, but the small RRs that were up here mostly are gone now so I'm combining the beautiful scenery up here with what I think a realitively modern, private RR would be like. I get tired of the concept that the heydays of RRing are gone, when we freelancers can show how it could be NOW. We offer great freight AND passenger service [got a GREAT deal at an auction after Amtrak showed up on 40 passenger cars from seven different RRs, and we've kept the original paint schemes for nostalgas sake]. We are an active part of the communities we serve and help bring new business to these areas as well. Make sense? Curt

The Oklahoma and North Eastern uses the following for motive power:

At one time I had a concept for a railroad between Paris and Mt. Pleasant, TX, based on the real Paris & Mt. Pleasant RR, that ran from 1910 to 1956. In my world, the P&MtP never quit, but was bought out by other Paris
area businessmen, and also built a branch from Deport, TX to Valliant, OK, tapping into the TO&E and Kiamichi there, and allowing for movement of sand, gravel, lumber, and paper. This would have been operated as the Oklahoma, Red River and Texas
(a name for a railroad that ran from Deport north to Blossom, TX from 1910 to 1912).
For motive power, the P&MtP had two chop-
nosed GP7Us, 1836 and 1845, while the OR&T
used GP7U 1889 (ex-Santa Fe, with angled cab
and in black) and GP20M 1907. In the wings were two CF7s last used on the Southeast
Kansas, and to be used on the ex-Cotton Belt from Mt. Pleasant west to Greenville, TX. As
with RailTex, the motive power is interchang-
able.
I've got the engines in storage, and run them on occasion on the club layout.
The colors are maroon with yellow striping, handrails and lettering. The 1889 is black & yellow (kinda looks like a Frisco
Geep, too http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif ).
Never know- the "Pa and Ma" may rise up & take over my layout..... http://www.trainboard.com/wink.gif

Besides my O&NE power, I have a stable of Frisco diesels, plus a couple of UP six-axles
for the runthrough. I'm in the market to get a GP15-1 or two for local or switching power,
and hopefully I'll get Stewart's VO1000 by summer.
ANd for grins & giggles, I have two locomotives painted for Texas Northwestern,
(circa mid-1980s, both locos on their roster at that time), some for Kiamichi, and other freelance power for the Paris & Mt. Pleasant, a railroad that ran from 1911 to 1956, but a "what-if" scenario assuming the Pa & Ma ran beyond 1956 to today.

Currently the SFSW has three very old Bachman F-7 units, an Atlas RS-1, and a 4-6-0. Why...well mainly because its what I had left over from an N scale layout years ago. Will the SFSW upgrade quality etc.? You bet!! The layout is set in the mid 50's so there can be some steam, F units and early GPs. I hope to have a premier Santa Fe Chief that runs through the layout once per session ( and possibly one of the Rio Grande passenger consists as well). These will serve to connect the pike to "the rest of the world" but the real work will be done by local passenger and freights, moving between towns and industrial areas (mainly coal mines,and oil fields, with some local business thrown in). Happy Modeling!!
John
