Friends, Here's a topic to start kicking around--the color of SN caboose ends. Let's start with this view of 1616 by Will Whittaker, which must have been one of his early experiments with color film

I love this group but I have had two hurricanes, city destroyed,?an Ice storm, a pandemic, job change because of it, it hasn’t been a normal year. That is the nice thing about these groups. As soon

Someone in the PCR/NMRA group asked about what did Sacramento Northern use for a line (tower) maintenance car. I have directed him to this group. Lisa Gorrell mallardlodge1000@...> wrote:

Friends, The last activity on this group was May 17. Are the members here interested in chatting, sharing stuff, and asking questions? Yours Aye, Garth Groff ?

Thanks for getting back to me. I was just struck by the similarity. Cheers, Dan

Hi Dan, I am not related as far as I know! Daniel

Daniel, I have a copy of the Northern Electric's rules for employees circa 1910, and it discusses signalling from an operating standpoint. They used standard mechanical semaphores. There is no detail

Hey Daniel, Are you any relation to Robert Louis Levy in San Jose ? Just wondering... Dan Lee

Hi Everyone, Took Amtrak from Oakland to San Jose today. Was a great trip! It got me thinking about the SN’s signaling. I recall it was advanced for its time. Does anyone know the safety features of

Justin, If you are thinking about the longer double-truck Brill cars, then no, there were none on the SN. However, the CCT had several of these (84-92, ex-Fresno, bought in 1938) in Sacramento service

Shapeways has the best solution. I have ordered an N Scale Birney Safety Car Body from them. https://images3.sw-cdn.net/product/picture/710x528_31436371_16632152_1588187890_1_0.jpg I will probably

Good to hear from you Garth. I was so wrong about the SN stock cars I hesitate to wonder about what I saw that looked like an early SN version of a Bachman Brill Trolley, but I definitely saw the

Friends, I answered Ken's post privately, but the earlier discussion edged over to the SN's Birney streetcar fleet, so I will summarize these cars for the group. The newly organized Sacramento

Thanks Garth, ?I had been looking at the earlier book.? For some reason I forgot about the new Signature Press book.? 70 is the closest and to be more accurate would need the open part extended.?

Ken, I would say no. The model is close to a standard all-closed Brill single-truck car, or similar cars built by other manufacturers. The four Northern Electric cars (70-73), and the Oakland Traction

Found NE 72 but so far not 70.? Will look again in the morning.? 72 is a bit more open than this car. On page 86 is a more promising candidate but is a poor picture.? The car is number 50 but date

NE 70-73 are the closest. There is one picture in p269 of Demoro's book. On Sun, Apr 25, 2021 at 6:22 PM, Ken Harstine<kharstin@...> wrote: Hi, I have this really cool kit from Japan to build

I don’t, but I once protested when my Dad had me paint a Bachman Brill Trolley Pullman Green and letter it Sacramento Northern. Then I was researching pictures at the California State Railroad

Hi, I have this really cool kit from Japan to build a single truck trolley.? Anybody aware of any like this in towns also served by the SN? Best, Ken Harstine
