Re: MILW branchline combine
开云体育Dan,? Yes The car was close to the
Swiss Army knife:? a caboose, Railway Express area, some had PRO
functions or simply bagged mail, plus several coach seats.? Early
versions had plain slab sides with arched windows with the latter
versions being ribbed (like the boxcar and many passenger cars).?
Those later versions had rectangular windows as shown., I
understand all were built in the roads shops as were the boxcars
along with the fleet of Hiawatha train sets. ?? I don't know if it
had two coal stoves or just one, it also had just a basic
'outhouse' for those needs.? One that ran through my hometown,
derailed a few miles out on the prairie along with some tank
cars.? It derailed and tilted rather severely.? The express guy
received a broken leg when stacked cream cans crashed to the
floor.? My aunt. a PO clerk, complained that all the mail was
soaked in old sour cream--a smell you have to get used to.
.
? One car had a second life on the
Reader RR in Arkansas, and I think it went on to another life
beyond that.? Maybe Gale Hall might know something about it?

A few days past I must have mentioned the Milwaukee's home made combines that served the smaller populated towns with fairly good service until the shuttered mail contracts took the lines from margine able into distress!

Re: River Raisin Shark Gearboxes and Axles with gears

I can't imagine any way those would have worked for a 70-tonner: the latter has 36" wheels and a shorter wheelbase; Sharks (and all similar road locomotives--either Blomberg or AAR type B) have a 9' wheelbase and 40" wheels.

I bought these items several years ago with the intention of building a small 70 ton locomotive. But have scratched the idea. So thought I would see if anyone might be looking for these parts. I have [4] complete River Raisin Model
Shark Locomotive gearboxes with Scale Wheelsets or can change to? High Rail Wheelsets, [your choice] these are New and never been used. $50 each gearbox + cost of shipping. I Also have [12] Plus Replacement axles with bushings, brass gears
and High Rail Wheelsets to fit the River Raisin Model Shark Locomotive
models. If someone needs brass gears or bushings for repairs on their Scale wheelset Shark Models or If someone wants to convert one to High Rail Wheelsets, $7.50 per complete axle + cost of shipping. You can contact me off site @
pullmx@... Thanks John

Re: C&NW wood reefer
The reason we chose the 1927 version is that ladders were used instead of just hand grabs. I’m guessing someone figured out that the ice reefers were loosing cold by the through bolted fasteners for handgrabs. for 7 handgrabs, 14 steel threaded rods were needed, for 7 rungs of a ladder only 6. So multiply by 4, that might have been a big difference. If you want Further back, exchange the fishbelly centersill for trussrods.
