As I recall, we decided some time ago that maintenance of way equipment could be shared on this chat list.
A number of years ago I began collecting information on this crane and drew detailed plans for it a couple of years ago. I finally started building the model about 6 months ago and finished it today. Attached are three photos of the final model. The frame and basic body were fabricated from .015” sheet brass while the roof, boom, interior details, and a half-dozen other parts were 3D printed. The project was frustrating at times but was a very challenging and enjoyable project.

Paul, I assume that you mean ACL classes K-6 and K-7? If so, see Richard Hendrickson's comprehensive article in the October 2007 (v.1, no.2) issue of SEABOARD-COAST LINE MODELER. I can't find a link to this publication anymore. Maybe somebody else can help with a link, or knows where the issues are archived. Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆

Re: Yosemite Valley Railroad steam crane 08...
Jack,
Great work - as always. Did that panel that forms the left wall fold/slide back during operation? If not - how did the operator see well enough to be able to swing the boom to the left? - Jim

more on PRR trucks;
Gatwood, Elden J SAD
Gang;
To add to the confusion on PRR's trucks, please note that there were multiple "Crown" trucks, that were swapped for original arch bars, that include the: 2D-F2 50-ton "Crown" found on classes: FM, GLA, GLB, GLC, GP, GPA, GR, GRA, GS, GSA, GSC, GSD, GSX, H22, XL, XLA, X23, X24, X25, X25A, X28A, and X29 2E-F2 70-ton "Crown" found on: F25, F25B, G22, G22A, H21A, H21B, H25, H22A, FN, and FNA A variation on this, with greater spring travel: 2E-F2 70-ton "Crown" found on: G21, G22, G22A, H21B, H22A, and H30 These last two are what I think the Bowser Crown truck most resembles. The Railworks brass Crown truck looks more like the last of these, the: 2F-F1 100-ton (or 95-ton, in other sources) "Crown" truck found on classes F25A, and the ill-fated H24. I have also seen these on G22B, since PRR was also known for swapping similar tonnage trucks around. To further complicate the G22 picture, they also had two versions of the 100-ton non-Crown trucks, as: 2F-F2 100-ton, six-spring "no name" S.C. (steel, cast) 5'8" WB 26 3/4" journal C-E (coil elliptic termed non-harmonic) truck of 10,500 lb weight, AND: 2F-F4 100-ton, six-spring "no name" S.C. 5'8" 26 3/4" C-E 10,000 lb weight truck Those last two look similar, and there is also a Railworks version of that one, with the same problems.

Re: Stakes For Lumber Loads: Hardwood Vs. Softwood
Todd Sullivan
Hi Bob,
Since hardwood has usually been more valuable/expensive than softwoods, I would assume that hardwood stakes (of oak, for example) wouldn't be used unless there was a need for high strength stakes. Most lumber mills use whatever is readily available, which is usually what they are sawing. I've seen saplings used, but mostly in modern times. It costs money to to cut and plane wood for a stake, so 'why bother?' seems to be the mantra of modern cost accountants. My recollection is that all of the stakes I saw while in the PacNW 1957-1962 were rough sawn softwoods. Todd Sullivan in Rowlett, TX

Re: Book of historical drawings; is it worth scanning?

Nice find, Charlie. No, the book in my possession is from eight years later, June, 1926, and is limited to trucks and the Recommended Practice car designs the ARA had adopted; the single sheathed boxcar with the pressed steel Pratt truss framing, and a similar double sheathed car with a steel framed superstructure. It appears to be a complete set of drawings because they go down to the level of detailing each sill step, bracket, bolt, etc. Unfortunately, the drawings show the generic flat plate ends and flat sheet riveted roof, which are features apparently no road bought; each opting for proprietary designs that were permissible alternates. While the Hathi Trust scans are welcome for printed text with occasional diagrams, looking at these MCB drawings, the resolution leaves something to be desired, considering the drawings are already greatly reduced for publication in the book.

True, but I'm looking for industry practice rather than just what is allowed.
