The C40-8s will eventually be rebuilt with Crescent cabs if the pilot conversions (being done in Roanoke) prove successful
When TTX converted the F89Js in the early 80's, they got extended cushioning... the long couplers are actually proto... and yes, it does help...
As info, a scale flange depth in N scale would be .00625" (+/- .00078125") or 1" +/- .125" proto. Also, per all the AAR spec drawings (i.e, H36,...
N&W had their own classes of six-axle gons... built before VGNs no less. The N&WHS is your best bet... they have drawings for all the VGN and N&W...
Of course :P
While I'm sure our beer over here isn't going to entice you to get back over here... I'm thinking our trains will :P
You need to take into account time spent modifying given files... it's not just adding supports, etc, but actually going into the stl and making...
What makes them exclusive?
[img] If AZL is going to 'borrow' artwork from BLMA, at least put it on the correct car. ;) [img] [img] The only F89Js that have...
What factors and detail cues are you using to determine an ASF from a Barber?
Where those DM&IR gons, or the other cars, ever interchanged? I'd be willing to bet that could be the explanation there... or not. I'll have to...
I'd be willing to bet 1933 was when these became standard on new cars (and presumably rebuilt)... that was when the Type E coupler became standard.
I don't know when it became a requirement (if it even is... I haven't looked at an AAR safety appliance act). The earliest car I've designed was...
On freight cars, the uncoupling rod goes under the coupler... you push the pin upward with the rod. On locomotives, it is on top...
One of which was acquired by the Wabash to rebuild one of their PAs... which N&W put an end to right after the merger.
Better to take the time to make it right, than to rush and have a half-arsed car out the door.
Ever gotten burned by a headlight? High mounted won't seem so strange anymore :P
It's a 1015... after reviewing production samples with 1016s and comparing it to the prototype, we retrofit the entire run with 1015s Robb...
They need to look at a BLMA wheelset. Correct AAR CJ36 profiles front and rear... something almost all HO wheels lack... and N too.
Blaine, What are the inside and outside measurements of your draft box, compared to the prototype, as well as other boxes on the market?
