Bolster pins are the plastic "push pins" that attach the trucks to the underframe. MTL's have a slot in them (you can easily pull then out) where as the Marklin's are part of the truck so just imagine the center of the truck's frame bottom. Jeff SF Bay Area Z ----- Original Message ----

I'm taking this year off from NTS (been to 3 of the last 5). My wife wants to go to the beach instead. ;-) I am hoping to go to Anaheim 2008, Milwaukee 2010 and Sacramento 2011 since I've got family within an hour or so of each of those. I think we are supposed to be having a family reunion in 2009 (Connecticut). I can't wait to meet Karin as well, but I'm afraid it WILL have to wait until 2008. Take care and best of luck.

Re: Is anyone maintaining the bolster pin color chart yet?
Randall Smidt
Stop watching email for 24 hours can be dangerous. DC Z-Bend Track group had requested Red/Red just before Bill passed as well, but did not get updated. We can change the color though since we only have about 12 cars that belong to the group as group property (donated by manufacturers at big shows).
Jeff's request made me think though. As I said in an earlier post, two color/bolster pin combinations may limit the number of combinations available. But the way Jeff requested his colors "Green ON White" made me think that we could"still paint on bolster pins but do two colors, one small dot over a larger circle on the same pin and still get more combos in. Older two color combos like Green and Yellow (me) could be Green/Green and Yellow/Yellow and not have to be repainted. (with MTL pins with the hole in the middle, it may look more like two concentric rings). Not sure exactly what the matrix showing what is whose would look though. Rob, have you posted the list on the ZTrack website yet? Perhaps we can formalize the request process as well, so everyone get their choice entered and confirmed. My previous offer to help maintain the list still stands. Randy Smidt ztrack@... wrote: Jim, Red and red is open. Will that work?

Modelers that have pushed us.
No I am not talking about the people that push us off the side of a
cliff. Today I saw Bill Kronenberger photos in Ztrack Magazine. The same feeling comes over me when I stop in at Papa Ben's Train Place. Ther have Ben photo near the cashier. I start thinking about the many things these two men showed me about the hobby. How both pushed me to do more than just talk about the hobby. In life there are people that director us in one way or another. A teacher that points out a book that will help us, another modeler that shows another modeler a way of finishing his/her layout. Both Bill and Ben pushed me without jumping all over me, do look pass the box and enjoy the hobby more. I mention this, because when that day comes for us, what will another say about us. Did we take the time to show a child something in life that isn't a computer game. Remember when a man. women or child ask you about our hobby. That a minute or two to show them the fun and enjoyable part of the hobby. Oh well, just feeling down, and wanted to talk to someone. Business here is Houston the past few weeks has come to a stop. My daughter is visiting her mother in Florida. And I just show Bill photo and remember how he took time to tell people about the hobby. Aaron Poscovsky |
