Just note that NWSL makes P:87 .064 wheels, and also makes what they call P:HO .064 wheels, that have a narrower back-back distance so they can run on NMRA standard HO scale track. I think the .072

Don't forget Stan Rydarowicz who supplies parts and complete kits (mostly based on laser trimed Intermountain kits). He also now has decals for an increasing amount of the kits (unashamed self

Bill, I agree. In fact, I was recently told by a resin-caster that he has an idea for just such a project, which may become next year's Shake-N-Take (with kits also available for

Regarding the proposed Friday Night Panel Discussion, this is my take on one of the possibilities. With the number of models in styrene and resin, a number of possibilities have been created to

the reason i am interested in them is because they sound like they are quite close to the 3mm (UK) finescale standards that i want to use and perhaps less likely to have problems in 3mm flangeways

Larry was always questioning me about this or that or some other detail about the various molds I had made, how they were made, what the material was and so on. Then he would always bring up what

I bought some 36" .072 wheels from NWSL many years ago and put them on a superdetailed tank car model. They are completely compatible with RP-25 trackwork and the car ran reliably on a club layout for

It's an obsolete size. When the NMRA did the original work on the RP-25 recommended practice, they defined a series of proportional sized wheel contours, each intended to work with the common coarse

There are many mentions of code 72 wheels here but who makes them and what are the dimensions, wheel width, flange depth and width, that kind of thing ? I can find only one code 72 HO size wheel on

My favorite saying from Larry Jackman was: "I was born with nothing and I still have most of it left!" I never had the opportunity to meet Larry Jackman. so my only contact with him was through his

I never met Larry Jackman, although he insisted on sending me a crate (yes) full of slides, none of which are identified in any rational way. However, they cover the details of seeming hundreds of

I think having it on Friday is a good idea. I can imagine this session will generate some discussions and ideas that once people sleep on them, could lead to more discussions on Saturday. Bill

Guys, I, too, would favor such a panel session. However, I think Friday night at 10PM would be a better time period. Remember, most of us displaying models will be packing up beginning at about 9:30PM

Tom, I think that would be a good idea, but I'm afraid I may be pushing the product part. I would love to have resin castings of the key Steam ejector Air Conditioner parts, sumps, roof hatches and

Tom, I have been hoping that someone else would indicate an interest in discussing your potential proposal and Cocoa Beach seems like the best place for it. I had hoped to get a bit of time with
