Re: 3D pantograph mold making
Doug MacLeod
Don, I had my 3D Frederick Deckel pantograph since 2004 and hardly used it as the 2D Gordons pantographs do about everything I want. Gordon 2D pantographs have a taper attachment which is a nice feature when needed. A CNC mill is almost a requirement on time consuming projects. The plastic injection molds I make are in brass or aluminum. Steel molds take ten times or more to make than brass or aluminum. CNC machining would be the only way to go. CNC machining is a whole different concept. A CAD drawing is required and drawing with CAD is time consuming. I still like the basic machining methods best. Doug

New freight car book for sale
Ted Schnepf
Hello everyone, Just arrived today the new freight car book for the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railroad. I thought the ore cars would overwhelm the presentation in the book, but that is not the case. the railroad had many other car types, especially gondolas in steel service. The 319 page book covers both freight and passenger cars on the Missabe from 1883 to 2004 with a good balance of all eras. It appears to be a well done book by a knowledgeable author. Contact me off list to get your copy. Also got resupplied on the ART and MDC reefer books. Rails Unlimted Ted Schnepf 126 Will Scarlet, Elgin, Ill. 60120 847=697-5353

Re: Looking to contact Ed Kaminski . . . now PM Wooden Cabooses
I don’t know if this is relevant to your quest, but we have PM Caboose A621at Huckleberry Railroad in Flint, MI. It is on static display, and is appropriate for HRR since most of its right of wayuses the old PM branch from Flint to Fostoria.

Yes, most express cars were operated by the REA as a pool, so cars certainly went off-line, though their owners were supposed to maintain and repair them. That of course would mean they came home occasionally. Tony Thompson

Bill - You can put all this good pantograph information to use making freight cars! Just purchase my Deckel GK-21 pantograph engraver! I have the actual machine that was alleged to have created the Bowser plastic injection molding dies for the PRR H21a hopper cars! It is here in south Texas waiting for a purchaser PM if interested!

Re: Armour & Company Reefer 8644
David Soderblom
A lovely scene. The car is on blocks, yet retains all its fittings (brake hose, coupler, …). And then there’s the siding. I would love to see someone reproduce that sketchy track, with its odd angles and eroded dirt “ballast.”

Re: Looking to contact Ed Kaminski . . . now PM Wooden Cabooses
al.kresse <water.kresse@...>
Larry,
It is targeted for PM TRACKS magazine published by the now slowly getting reorganized and running again PM Historical Soc.
Got one pix of A545 in Delray yard already. Got pix of the "new" A800, A804, A811, A822 and A823 from that series. Your 1972 date is consistent with the last wooden cabeeses usage. Some made until 1974.
I presume your two cabooses were painted yellow?

Coil Car teaser
Gatwood, Elden J SAD
Gang;
Here are some "teasers" from my research (please do not post, re-post or publish. If it happens, you won't get any more): So the attached are the earliest photos I can find (from the PRRT&HS archives), of a dedicated "coil car". The first is what instigated the second: damage from coil transport in a "standard" box car. The coils were poorly blocked (if at all), resulting in coil rolling. They also tipped into the ends, causing additional damage. Damage included crushing of flooring, wood lining, side posts, end posts, and eventually exterior sheathing. The "solution" in the second shot is a dedicated PRR X31 coil-hauling coil car, with replaced and more robust oak flooring, 3/16" steel liners with new wood supporting same, in dedicated turn-around service. 1937. I'm curious if they appear in any ORER. I have not found them. Anyone have evidence of the same thing on other railroads? I would love to know about other RRs' answers to this new kind of cargo. Thanks! Elden Gatwood

He does. There are more important parts there than just the reefer parts, but I have a note to him.

Armour & Company Reefer 8644
Armour & Company Reefer 8644 Circa 1926 photos of an Armour reefer: http://lists.railfan.net/erielackphoto.cgi?erielack-12-12-19/X4863.jpg http://lists.railfan.net/erielackphoto.cgi?erielack-12-12-19/X4864.jpg http://lists.railfan.net/erielackphoto.cgi?erielack-12-12-19/X4865.jpg http://lists.railfan.net/erielackphoto.cgi?erielack-12-12-19/X4866.jpg Scroll on the photos to enlarge them. There are no trucks under the car so it was being used for storage. The roof appears to have debris on it, also. Note the warning poster. I've seen other copies of this same poster in various old photos. Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA

Re: 3D pantograph mold making
Donald B. Valentine <riverman_vt@...>
I was always told that 10 times the desired finish size was a good figure for a 3D pantograph master. Perhaps the larger question is where do you find anyone with a 3D pantograph? I know at least one shop that sold one for scrap, a good Decelle, after listing it for sale and receiving no inquiries for six months of better. Cordially, Don Valentine

That is a fabulous photo, and EXACTLY what I was looking for. I wanted to contrast B&O and NKP use of Republic hoods with PRR use of home-built, larger hoods, and this is perfect. Thank you SO much! Elden Gatwood
