Jerry Poniatowski All Messages By This Member #175848 John et al., ? Pardon me for chiming in, but both the BL-2 in the foreground and the F Unit behind it were painted for Bert by me in 2005.? I also did a series of passenger cars and an E8 set for him.? A good guy.? We were both C&O fans. ? I used to do custom painting for folks, but when Floquil quit making their paints, I also quit.? It was fun while it lasted, but it wasn't exactly a very lucrative endeavor.? ? ? ? ? Jerry Poniatowski Brighton, MI ?
John E. Henning All Messages By This Member #175851 Jerry, Great work!!? I will update my records. LOL...? Somehow Bert, back in the day, failed to mention to me your custom work when he switched to "O" Scale... ? Always enjoyed your models at Sprees, shows and NMRA events. ? Carry On with your C&O modeling!! ? -- John E. Henning

He mentioned that he had an operators manual for several of the GE versions. So I said neat, but I really wasn't interested in buying much of anything!? He said he was just trying to find a good home for it, so I explained that for one who houses 8 cats of questionable qualities it would be cherished greatly.? It arrived a few days ago.? I was surprised that it was quite brief--probably a dozen pages devoted to mostly getting it to run! I need to give the guy a free ride or a cup of Java, when I come across a king pin screw for one of the units.? I was told DesPlains has the spare parts, but they quickly came up dry!? Carr McMaster also doesn't seem to carry things that small.? It's a unique piece, as it's very stubby shouldered screw made to clear the drive shaft on top, so short enough but also? just long enough to connect to the truck's plastic bolster by a couple of threads.?? I've looked for Goldie Locks parts before!? May the future be bright!

JGG KahnSr All Messages By This Member #176421 开云体育 Those unique/one-of-a-kind screws in imported locomotives are a pain; sometimes there is a package of spare screws and odds and ends but not always, and if one is not the original buyer, those packages can disappear before one takes ownership. I have accumulated a good supply of metric screws over the years—some from NWSL, some from China—and I've had occasion to jury-rig a shouldered screw from a metric screw with a length of brass tubing for the shoulder.? Sometimes it will just slip over the threads, other times I need to tap the tubing (I also long ago bought a good set of metric taps and dies).? And, of course, use my trusty Dremel to cut the screw to the required length.
