I want to say the book by John J Ryczkowski had a lot of truck pictures. I am only home a few days a month so as soon as I get home, I spend time with the kids often. Here and there I get to read. I asked Charles Smiley productions if he had any information in a phone message. He is an SN modeler.

This weathering video was really impressive although I don’t think I would put very much graffiti on my gondolas while weathering them. I have to try this for the Pittsburg steel train. They also had a video on weathering clapboard and barnacles on piers. I couldn’t bring myself to do heavy weathering on a locomotive. https://youtube.com/watch?v=R-D041cQozQ&feature=shared

The decals for the Sacramento Northern Baldwin steeple cab were made from Western Pacific orange and green paint scheme, orange stripes by Micro Scale together with lettering that was custom made on an alp printer credit to Ken Harstine. But I have since found another waterslide white decal paper Sunnyscopa on Amazon that doesn’t require clear coat and isn’t faded according to Fine Scale Modeling, if Alp paper is gone or too old. It works much better than the cheaper waterslide blank white paper. You could get a larger scale Sacramento Northern boxcar or Baldwin decals and print and reduce the side of it on the decal paper so the background was brown or Tuscan on the boxcar or black for the steeple cab as a new alternative to make decals. Usually you trim close and paint the edges to blend color variations. The decal is even thinner. Might have to rob from a model some trolley pickup poles or make them since the guy who made them in Canada doesn’t have them.

One more print here. Also if you ask the guy with a GE steeple on the site he might reduce it to N-Scale if you show him what eBay chassis it needs to fit. But when I bought a shapeways N-Scale GE steeple cab, it really didn’t have room for a motor. I have one as a dummy and the other, the print was modified wider and taller to fit if I remember. It still sat about 1 scale foot or two higher than the train body should be. I don’t mind much https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/freelance-tt-model-mrr-1942-steeple-loco-bimbolunic

Here is a chassis you might want to send the 3D printer to design the steeple an around https://www.ebay.com/itm/146198732166?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=wHQhS4heT22&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=-SfnQT7lQJi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=MORE

I found a 3-D print of a Baldwin steeple cab in multiple scales. If he doesn’t have NScale, I’m sure he will add that in. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/baldwin-westinghouse-model-b-1-electric-locomotive-multi-scales

Another great layout https://youtube.com/watch?v=tdhH8sW_rZQ&feature=shared

Rasch Studios always makes amazing custom N-Scale layouts for people https://youtube.com/watch?v=zEgzcpb4eLA&feature=shared

Great NScale steeple cab action somebody has. That looks like the old line to Oakland in the background. https://youtube.com/watch?v=bTDj_-QB4AM&feature=shared

Somebody on the list must have done this great layout. Pretty nice https://youtube.com/watch?v=P72t9YcsvUI&feature=shared

Somebody in the other group pointed out you may want the zero clearance saw insert that is also offered on eBay for the Proxxon tablesaw. It’s only about 12 bucks but if you make NScale Trestles it may be necessary for fine work. Expect about every third piece to be misshapen https://www.ebay.com/itm/325474242925?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=D84v3Z4_TVu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=-SfnQT7lQJi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=MORE

I posted about this on N-Scale Traction. Has anyone seen or used the PROXXON German designed mini table saw? I think it cuts down to 1-22mm or .04-5/6 inch. The cost of hobby wood is sort of prohibitive for some of the caternary work but I just ordered this and I plan on cutting thin scrap pieces that cabinet shops give away on a big table saw before ripping on the PROXXON so it doesn’t bog down. They have one for around $115 coming in the mail but the $400 one has angle adjustment on the saw blade and a table extension for panels which I thought was overkill for N-Scale size pieces. People who build full size wooden boats need a lot of dowels and they do it on the cheap by using a metal plate with holes drilled in it that they drive square wooden stock or sticks through, sometimes with the wood turning in the chuck of a drill to help shape it. I have seen it done with a hammer or a drill but for small scale you might just drive it through by hand. They sell mini dowel making metal plates on eBay but most are too large except for an English one that is $110, and it only has one 1:160 scale dowel hole so better to make your own. You have to lubricate with oil when drilling metal and usually you want to start the hole by hammering with a center punch or even a big nail to give the drill bit something to follow so it won’t wobble. Don’t use stainless steel plates. It will wreck drill bits because it is too hard. I bought an N-Scale trestle template so the idea is to build trestle pieces when I am stuck away from town on business. They sell in store only at some Harbor Freights a mini table saw for $30, but I have heard it doesn’t track as well. PROXXON Bench Circular Saw KS 115, 37006 , Green https://a.co/d/3NnBlz2
