My Great Northern Flyonel Mikado with proper decals. River Raison Vanderbilt coal tender, all scale drivers and wheel sets. A long Vanderbilt oil tender would be perfect, but this is close enough. Steve Lunde

I now have a mixture of fluorescent fixtures with ballasts and a few direct wire without ballasts. You need specific tubes for both - no 1 size fits all. The direct wire fixtures are really an empty box just to hold the tombstones. And they are not wired like I thought. For the direct wire LED tubes all wires from one end go to white and all wires from the other end go to black. Luckily nothing bad happened to 6 tubes when I had them wired wrong. I added 8 feet more of lighting here over the engine house. (Closest on the right and farthest on the left) It is a main scene of the layout. Changing to LEDs and adding more light here is very noticeable. No comparison to what it was. I am going to ballast the track while I have it cleared out.

SSL&S Hudson Instruction booklet and inventory sheet
2
Some have asked for copies of the SSL&S AF/Hudson Conversion Instructions and Parts list. I started a while back to copy the faded mimeographed instructions but got distracted and never finished them. Dug them out a few days ago and finished them up. Trying to keep the original flavor of the instructions (including grammatical errors) I have copied them verbatim. The sketches included are tracings of the originals copied and pasted into the document as close to the original as I could get them. Along with my work I am including the SSL&S Third Edition Parts Installation Booklet that I think was uploaded by Chris Rooney a few years back. Hope this is helpful for anyone going down this road. -- Rob Fuhst Grand Haven, MI

Well, Guys, Sorry for taking so long, but after months of tweaking, the ACF 70 Ton Hopper is finally at a point, that I feel comfortable this model will go together as planned. I tried painting it as a built-up model, but there were too many nooks and crannies that you could not get paint into. Therefore, I¡¯m offering it up as a 3D resin kit, (trucks and couplers are not included).The cost is $75.00 each and includes free shipping to the lower 48 states only. Please contact me, off this list, mike@..., if you are interested. ¡®S¡¯incerely, Mike Fyten Kaw Valley Railroad C: 913-909-1110, leave massage

Anyone looking to buy S Scale trains my collection needs to get sold
6
Anyone that needs something in particular in S Scale ? I have decided that my entire collection needs to be sold including new unused bench work and some sections of 3 former layouts. I have almost anything that was prototypical from most Northeastern / New England railroads during the period 1920 through 1955 all in S Scale. This includes about 250 Northeastern and Kinsman kits, and kits from all the major manufacturers along with about 150 SHS products and about 100 PRS kits left, trucks, buildings and building kits, bridges built and in kit form, many Walthers kits, much flex track mostly code 100 and 125, and some code 83 rail. Some very rare stuff - 0ver 250 locomotives both brass wood and SSL&S kits and scratch built by many of S scales former master builders. about 55 cars built by Bill Boucher 10 by Jim Konas and others. Also many many detail parts. Easier for me to ask what you are looking for specifically than list what I actually have. Please contact me by Private email right here on I o groups s scale.Please realize it may take me some time to get back to you due to still working 5 days a week. I will reply but only have so many hours a week to do so. This is mostly all SCALE not much hi-rail. All AF is junky bodies for conversion to scale. Thank you all Bill Morris Well apparently this method of my "shotgun" approach Is not working well since I have been inundated with emails all using the same subject header a reply to my post, and since most everyone wants to see what they are purchasing and request photos which I am terrible at doing BTW - looks like I need to do this differently. SO I will take photos of small "lots" of cars" and post the photos here in separate messages such as others have done. Looks like this will take years for me to complete doing. I am amazed no one wants original Kinsman kits especially the passenger cars or Ambroid snow plow kits.. SO OK I will now try the hard way for me to list all this stuff. Please if responding Change the subject line for your message to reflect what you want so I can find your message later on to reply to you. ThankS Bill Morris

Dave's Twacks & Twains
2
Sad news! I just spoke with Clay Buckage, owner of Dave's Twacks & Trains out in Brentwood, CA. He is closing his business as of this weekend and it is now for sale. Clay purchased the entire remaining SHS parts inventory from SHS when Don sold out. He has been wonderful to work with and has provided me with many, many SHS parts for repairing SHS locos as well as detailing AM F units. He also has a big American Flyer repair service that will probably be missed by the Flyer guys as well. Change is part of life, but this is another S supplier that has provided a terrific and needed service. Bob Hogan

A long time ago on the prairie
I occasionally tune into a historical IO type group regarding South Dakota--home grounds here! Occasionally I'll come across some decent RR photos and writings about them. Last night a letter from a past lobbyist for the CNW was run. The State Capitol was in Yankton in the far SE corner of the state--MILW territory! The CNW was pushing for a more central part of the state and right next to their new rails! So the CNW pushed for Pierre (pronounced pier). They brought in a train stocked with food, booze and women; and so the legislators decided the move would be good! Apparently lobbying hasn't changed too much! BTW, The main passenger train ended up being called the Dakota 400! My own version is called the Dakota 300! (an E7 one coach, RPO & baggage. Presently I'm waiting for some cash coming my way! Perhaps I should open a prison there too! Not too political is it? Bob Werre Phototraxx

Minimum Radius List
5
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 be good information to have before laying track. -- Rob Fuhst Grand Haven, MI

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.

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 group. Does anyone have one of these kit for sale that I can put him in contact with? I am not doing the work, I am just helping him find parts. I have never seen one of these and don't know what they consist of. I do have one of those AF Consolidation conversion kits that I scrounged parts from. The drivers are under my Berkshire. It came with the AF boiler but pretty much everything else was SSL&S details including the tender kit. -- Mike Swederska Meramec Valley Lines Modeling Mopac equipment in 3/16 https://www.youtube.com/@mikesscale3149 Don't let perfection get in the way of good enough!
