AF to scale - SSL&S Hudsons - B&A RRM tenders

Lindsey Neas All Messages By This Member #177025 Mike,? ? ? ?I have one of Claude's SSL&S Hudson conversions. Will take an inventory of the parts and send it to you over the next few days.? The key, at least in my opinion, is the time spent filing the boiler.? I recall reading years ago that he produced upwards of 150 of these kits.?? ? ? ?On the subject of B&A tenders, I stumbled across a photo in Mopac Power, written by, as you well know, the late Joe Colias, patron saint of all things Missouri Pacific.? In the chapter on Mikes, there's a tender that appears to be virtually identical to Rusty's RRM tender, on Commonwealth 4-wheel passenger trucks, being pulled by an Alco-built 2-8-2.? I suspect the design was far more common than we realize.? I then consulted my file of MP Mike photos.? Yep, numerous MoPac Mike's were paired with a very similar tender.??

John Hutnick All Messages By This Member #177028 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 buying a tender to stri Does anyone have any Hudson conversion chassis that they would sell? ?
Andre Ming All Messages By This Member #177029 开云体育 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 much of?the below walkway cast details removed... thus that boiler can no longer use AF's method of hanging the AF valving. So, it must be going onto an entirelly different (non-AF) frame? ? ? Andre Ming ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text ----- Original Message ----- I would agree with you! ?

It will be replaced by SSL&S linkage, and new leading and trailing trucks.? Rob Fuhst? Grand Haven,? MI? Sent from Samsung tablet -- Rob Fuhst Grand Haven, MI
