ProtoCraft did respond and the min that he can order from MicroScale is 250 per set. He does not feel that it makes business sense to add more HO to his line which is unfortunate because he has many southeastern roads that would be of interest to me. I suggested that he consider licensing his artwork to some low volume printer but who knows if he will consider it. Allen Cain

Re: PRR F34 flat
Dave Boss
Chuck I very much enjoyed your article on the F34 flat. You did an excellent job on the kit bash. I agree that the operation is the most important aspect of this car. All I was looking for was how the brake parts supplied with kit are to be arranged so as to be able to assemble them properly. F&C doesn't really give you a good explanation or diagram as to how they are installed. Hopefully it will operate as well as yours once the parts are properly mounted on. I will have to contact the PRRT&HS about this tracing. Thank you for your help on this matter. Good Day Dave

Re: PRR F34 flat
Dave Boss
Bruce Thank you for your response. I have referenced the TKM articles. Unfortunately they do not show any of the duel brake arrangements. F&C is very vague on their instructions. I referenced my 1940 car builder cyclopedia as well with no luck. I'm not going to super detail the underside as it is not visible. However some of the brake detail is visible in some photos, but not clear enough to see how they are arranged. I have no idea how to arrange the brake components parts onto the span bolsters? There are no indications on them to show as to were the parts mite go. F&C just states install them when you get to this point. You mentioned the PRRT&HS flat car book do you know if the book provides any kind of brake arrangement for the cars? If I knew the book listed them I would look for a copy as I don't currently own one. I believe the society has sold them out. On another note I did find out that the D&H version of this car that I posted a question on a while back is the same car as a NYC car. They showed up in my 1953 car builders cyclopedia. Both were built 1951. Good Day Dave

On the ends NBW's have been added for the ladder grabs, end sill grabs and right side grabs; .005 styrene to create brake shaft support; NBW to the tp of the brake wheel; and Precision Scale Retainer valve and .010 wire for its air line. --

I've had similar experiences. I get the digest version, and if I'm reading it the same day I receive it I'm fine. Any later and any attachments default to the group home page.

Re: WTB: Tennessee Central Boxcar Decals

Norm doesn't list HO TC boxcar decals on his website, it is possible I would think to get them done in HO. Protocraft's decals are done by Microscale. How big a quantity is the question. Larry Wolohon

Re: Priming w/Yellow
Aley, Jeff A
Bill,
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. RealSTMFC is currently using 2.2GB of Photos space, out of an allotment of 1.0GB (yep, we’re using twice as much space as allowed). I believe it is for this reason that groups.io deletes attachments after a relatively short period of time.
I’ll talk w/ Mr. Brock and see what we can do.
Regards,
-Jeff

Re: PRR F34 flat
Chuck Cover
Group,
A couple of comments on my kit-bashing the F34. At the time I began to think about this project, F&C had not yet brought out their nice F34 kit. Before building the kit-bash, I ordered, from the PRRT&HS, tracings of the car so that I could better understand what I needed to do to model it from the Athearn/Bachman model. These tracings are relatively inexpensive and give great detail on the car. One can order just the tracings for the air brake details.
All of my kit-bash projects, as well as all of my resin builds, are built so that they reliably will operate on my layout. I try to get as close to prototypical as I can, but operations is more important to me than to get every detail perfect. Thus when kit-bashing the F34, I looked at photos and attempted to place the visible brake details in the appropriate locations, however, I needed to find a way to do it so that the triple valve and brake cylinder did not interfere with how the car tracked. This is detailed in the article. Most of the brake detail is not visible anyway so I installed just those two components and called it a day. The car tracks perfectly and runs well without a load and has been doing so for almost 3 years during my monthly operating sessions, so for me, it was a success.

I think Bill's pix are still in the stream of emailed photos (see Photos on the groups.io page). Bu they no longer seem to be attached to his original message, or this thread.
