Just another reminder that Model Railroader and Railroad Model Craftsman are eager to get material by S modelers. I have a story on a simple bash and detailing of a lowly, 'available today' American Models GP9 in the June RMC and a photo in the TRACKSIDE PHOTO section of the July issue of MR, with another photo accepted and in the queue for a future issue. The GP9 article reinforces that you don't have to have pioneered some revolutionary modeling technique nor built a hugely complex project. A simple build in which both the prototype and the modeling techniques would be of interest to a reasonable number of 'regular Joe modelers' is all that's required. In the case of the GP9 article, it's a sort of advertisement for AM, and the NASG, too! Every time I send in something, the editors of both magazines ask me to get my S buddies to send more, hence this post. . Brooks Stover

The "extra" gearboxes for the USRA Light 2-8-2's were sold as separate "accessory" parts 6 months or so after the original models came out. There was never a gear or gearbox issue, the original models were just geared differently and some modelers (me among them) felt the gearing was too high. I thought the locomotives tended to run fast and were hard to start without a "'jack-rabbit" effect. OMI made a new gearbox containing different ratio gearing so the model could be retrofitted - if a modeler wished to purchase and install it. I think the gear set sold for 25 or 30 bucks and included a new geared driver. There was nothing whatsoever wrong mechanically with the original gearbox. Interestingly, when Tom Marsh emptied his remaining S inventory, part of it was a couple cases of those lower gear ratio sets, nicely boxed, maybe 4 or 5 dozen. As is often the case, after clamoring for a "product", only a few modelers actually stepped up to buy the lower gearing. Over the ensuing years more of the re-gear kits were used, but a lot of them were soaked up by builders - to get their hands on those gorgeous 63" Code 110 drivers! Regarding the N&W A's; AFAIK there were no issues with them...

Friends. I’m having operational issues with the Lionel CW-80 transformer/controller. Does anyone on this list have any experience with this transformer? Maybe y’all might know an AF Guy that could help? As this is not a “SCALE” issue, please contact me directly to not take away from the essence for our Group. Thank you in advance for your kind assistance. Charles Malinowski iPhone 317-730-3187 bmry1905@...

I have been stuck on three locations on my layout due to needing to decide what and how to bridge the three locations. I was just goofing around on ebay when I came across this 3D company that prints bridges. It was an O scale listing so I sent a message to the lister asking if a S scale bridge could be printed. He replied that he had one already in his store so I just purchased it. So excited as it is exactly the length I need to bridge the gap. https://www.ebay.com/itm/396401549101?_skw=s+scale&itmmeta=01JWHCCKCK7QKN5H8F9MA0V5SZ&hash=item5c4b5f9f2d:g:S4sAAOSwUEhmygo~ I hope this link works. Have any of you guys heard of this company and his bridges? If so have you installed one. I just watched a YouTube construction video on the bridge and that convinced me to purchase it. -- 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!

Has anyone heard about or had any gearbox issues with the Overland N&W A? Any stripped gears? I think I heard extra gearboxes were included with some of the Overland USRA locos. Could they be the same?
