Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
Glad to hear what I had to say resonated with you Bill. I don¡¯t really have an issue with S modelers helping modelers in other scales to ¡°see the error of their ways¡± and become 3/16ths

Re: NWSL J&L Tank, Another Question
I wonder if the wreck scene is the only surviving photo of one of the cars in service? I am guessing the diesel hood is a Fairbanks Morse switcher (NYC, as in P&LE). Jace Kahn

Re: Frank Titman tribute
If I remember, I will bring a 2-8-0 converted from the AF 0-8-0 from Bill Fraley's collection; I am pretty sure it was a Titman job. Jace Kahn ________________________________ Sent: Sunday, June 23,

Re: Frank Titman tribute
Bill, I will be happy to bring a few of his incredibly ingenious AF hopper conversions that I bought. Frank was one of the most imaginative and creative modelers the hobby has ever seen! Jim Whipple

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
Thanks for the shout out Ted. I completely agree with all of it especially the "bring in new modelers" mantra, not the "switch'em over." Bill H.

Re: Free to a Good Home
I fondly remember Spike if he was Bill Fraley's mascot.? I saw him when I visited Hershey many years ago.? I would consider bringing him how to be in Dave Jaspers museum if he is available.? I

Frank Titman tribute
If you are coming to the NASG Convention next month and have a known Frank Titman built loco or maybe a car bring it. Hugh Sinn and I are doing a tribute display in the model room. This will likely be

Re: SHS Cabooses Interior
I actually still have the transparent display sample from China that we used at our booth. All the electronics are stuffed in the WC! (Head if your father was in the Navy!). We wanted constant

Rich, That¡¯s a neat looking car. The different ends really sets the car apart from the other kits I use. Way back in time when I was a rivet counter in Sn3. The crowning touch to a great box car

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
Good day! For me, I¡¯m on about the same page as Bill Hawk, but would refine it to say that one can start out in the hobby running American Flyer, then, if one wishes, go on to model in high rail,

Re: Today¡¯s S Scale project
Mike, Thank you for sharing all this information with more to come I'm sure. I Really appreciate you taking time out of your build to keep us informed. Have you ever used soldering clay to keep parts

Re: Today¡¯s S Scale project
Guys, biased on the private request and those here I will post as I go. With that said I will back the truck up a bit and mention the NWSL parts. I use their gear box, CV and motor on this project.

Re: Standard Gauge Brass 3-truck WSLCo. Shay for sale...........
That might be somewhat true, but they were close. The Clover River loco was a compound, the Uintah locos were simple. The pilot model pictures do show the different cylinders, plus other details. From

Re: Standard Gauge Brass 3-truck WSLCo. Shay for sale...........
I considered the upcoming PBL 2-6-6-2T but on learning it was merely a standard gage version of the narrow gage prototype, I passed. For that much money I'd wanted a correct one. I do own a PSC O

Re: Standard Gauge Brass 3-truck WSLCo. Shay for sale...........
I'm in a minority with ED. I don't have any for sale, but I have four PBL standard gauge locos, 3-truck Shay, Heisler, 2-truck Climax and a 3-truck Climax. I would also have a standard gauge 2-truck

Re: Today¡¯s S Scale project
The SSL&S mechanisms were the weak part of the kit; the gearing was primitive, the driver axles, as I understand it, were the odd AF size, and the rods took a lot of work to roll smoothly. Jace Kahn
