Hello William, ? Hello again most likely, We have probably talked before? My senior memory isn’t good I am always keeping an eye out for: VINTAGE CAST METAL PARTS: BOLSTERS HI RAIL WHEELSETS CAST METAL FREIGHT TRUCKS MAYBE OTHER CAST METAL FREIGHT CAR PARTS? Love to see pictures to help me decide!!!! Yours in the hobby Roger Haag S Scale Man Hendersonville, NC On Apr 8, 2025, at 11:14 AM, Bob Werre <bob@...> wrote: ? Bill, Coming from a hardened seller of S equipment I am still feeling your pain as it's the same as mine! One seems to need photos, sometimes even when things seem to be NIB. I would think the stuff built by the "greats" would do better displayed to those who still might have a 401? With our ranks thinning along with financial uncertainty, the incline is now into rugged territory! I probably still hold 2-3 dozen items from two owners but I'm not in the mood! In the past several years I've cleared out a HOn3 layout of mostly brass power some wooden scratch structures, and some machine tools. It was a 6-8 month trip mostly uphill. Re-motored little C&S steam went quickly while typical NG buildings sold for peanuts eventually. Troxell's S layout was very large even after the estate sellers got rid of the boxed brass. This was well over a year's selling mostly from this list. What surprised me was that he had some really old 0 scale that went very well and sort of high. Couple all that with what I've been selling personally, then Billy Clicks' accumulation was even larger. I hope all this stops as these are good friends and I'd rather have them around talking and walking rather than my receiving a minor % commission! Bob Werre Phototraxx [Edited Message Follows] 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

I have a couple of Airslides to finish. One will be Milwaukee grey but I am looking for ideas for the other one. John Mann showed a great Burlington scheme but said he used decals so the car data is not perfect. I could pay to have that corrected but before I do that, I would like to see what else is around. I have a couple extras of the BN and MN&S for the 4180 car if anyone is looking for that car. -- Ken Zieska 1/64th Scale Modeler

Afternoon everyone, Off and on rain here, so down into the basement. RDG T1 #2107 going around I10 #2008, which helped make up it's train. Yes, that is code 148 AM rail. The layout is about 75% former 2x4 transportable modules built in the late 1980's/early 1990's. You can see one of the 4" 'Dutchman" pieces connecting the two sections. And , yes the eccentric rod on #2008 does need some shop time. Hope you all having some fun. Hugh

Thanks to Pete Silcox sending me these vintage kits, I was able to build a pair of Don Thompson's early TrainStuff resin kits last week. The Burlington Northern 50' 6" Flush Plug Door Box Car was one of three versions of these cars. The 40' 6" New York Central box car kit was a model of the LCL Pacemaker series cars, however I modeled it as it was post Pacemaker service. I've modeled several of these TrainStuff kits before. All use resin cast flat sides/end/roof with a wood floor. I enhanced these two models with various Pacific Rail Shops styrene castings. I've found that most of these vintage TrainStuff kits tend to have the original green tissue paper protective wrapping stuck to the resin castings and the side castings are always warped top to bottom. A little soap and water and some time with a hair dryer easily corrects these problems. After all of these years, these kits still build up into very nice models. Thank you, Don!

It seems that the photos did not post, so here's another try. Bob Hogan

I have been threatening myself to do it for a long time but I finally did it.... I have a continuous loop of fluorescent light fixtures around my layout. Fluorescent is about the worst lighting you can have for photography. What is worse the tubes are mostly over 10 years old. While they still "light" I am sure they are much dimmer than when new. That is what happens to fluorescent tubes as they age. There is a commercial electric supply near my house. I stopped by and asked about 4' LED tubes that will roll in and work with my fixture ballasts. I bought 4 of them for a test. Most LED tubes are plastic. These are glass. They are MUCH brighter than my old fluorescent tubes. The coolest thing is the slide switch to adjust the Kelvin. I set to 6500 which is bright white. They are - YIKES - $13.00 EACH. I need about 24 of them. This will be a little at a time project. I am also going to replace some OLD fluorescent fixtures. Some LED fixtures are cheaper than retro of the fluorescent tubes.

That's the theme of the NASG ads that have run on the inside cover of every RMC since mid-2022 and which are scheduled to run through December 2027, unless something changes. I'm an advocate that the best way to grow S is to share with modelers in other scales what's being done in S today through all the avenues available, including in the multiscale magazines like RMC, MR and NMRA Magazine. While advocating for new products is fine, as is sharing our modeling among ourselves, nice S models and layouts can be built today with what's available both new and on the secondary markets and we need to share that modeling with those outside of S. I reiterate that I'm ready, willing and able to help anyone get a photo of their S model in Model Railroader's Trackside Photos feature. Thanks to the few guys who have already provided photos. The first one, by Gaylord Gill, appeared in last month's MR. We expect several more will be published in 2025. This is not an NASG sanctioned program...it's just something I've offered to do. I've just completed detailing an American Models Baldwin to represent B&O 9271 (photos attached). I scratchbuilt the unusual MU panels from styrene and made new railings from brass wire. I used commercially available wipers, shades, horn, MU hoses, drop steps and headlights. I'm working on an article on this build for Model Railroader with the purpose of showing what can be done in S with what you can buy today. The caboose and hoppers in the images are also available today. Is there as much available in S as in HO or N? No, of course not. Can you build nice models in S with what is available today with common modeling techniques and materials? Absolutely! Let's show folks outside of S what can be done...and IS being done...and not just talk among ourselves about what we wish we had. Brooks Stover
