Who done it?
Can someone ID this loco, and tell us the builder? It appears to be mostly a SSLS build, with a lot of embellishments. It's a beautiful job. Tommy

Re: Minimum Radius List
I wrote the following in 1996 for the Bay Area S Scalers module project. The NMRA recommendation was based on the rigid wheelbase, as I recall, while ignoring pilot and trailing trucks and low-hanging

Re: River Raisin B&A tender
The tender on the H7 is the one I have been talking about. The P&E tender on the K14 has horizontal rivet patterns, not the 13 vertical rows of the other tender. Something to keep in mind is matching

Re: River Raisin B&A tender
I kind of lost track of this topic... Speaking of short runs though, is this the tender you all are talking about? Jim Kindraka Grand Rapids, MI

Re: Minimum Radius List
Sometimes I love telling banalities. Lay your radii as big as you can afford them. Many years ago I bought a german streamline steamer, a BR 06. Can be seen here:

Re: River Raisin B&A tender
I took a look at a couple photos of the B&M's Lima-built P-4 4-6-2's (1934.) Now, I don't have dimensions of the B&A tender to compare with, so I'm only comparing the shape of the top and counting the

Re: AF to scale - SSL&S Hudsons - B&A RRM tenders
Andre,You are correct it will be installed on a SSL&S frame. The original AF linkage will not be used either. It will be replaced by SSL&S linkage, and new leading and trailing trucks.?Rob

Re: AF to scale - SSL&S Hudsons - B&A RRM tenders
Rob: What exactly is going on here with these two boilers? At first I thought an AF boiler was being cleaned up to be detailed with free standing piping, but then I noticed that the one boiler has

Re: AF to scale - SSL&S Hudsons - B&A RRM tenders
My original question was what B&A loco could use this tender.? The answer is an H10 2-8-2.? Now of course we can find any number of engines with similar tenders.? But for $250, I would not be

Minimum Radius List
Has anyone compiled a list of the required minimum track radius that a particular locomotive must have? For instance an American models Pacific vs an AF/converted SSL&S Pacific? Seems like this would

I've been told that the SP swapped tenders fairly often--especially the later years! Bob Werre

AF to scale
Question, I was asked if I had what it would take to convert AF Hudsons and Northerns to scale. I know that SSL&S once offered these conversions. So asking for a friend whom I don't believe is on this

Re: River Raisin B&A tender
Bill, Your Pacific looks good just the way it is. All this talk about what this tender would go behind is funny to me. That tender is a really good looking well rounded and proportioned tender. It

Re: Finally Finished
I had a chance to take a close look at one of these Mike's, with the intention of converting it to scale. It's a beautiful model. I see that the two center axles have blind tires. Only the 1st and 4th
