Prototype information
Radicalized RS3m
I stumbled upon this critter recently and I think that my google-fu is lacking maybe as I cannot find many pictures and or information for this guy. I have been to RR archives and Don's photos but beyond that I am coming up empty for pictures especially anything overhead to show the hoods/roofs. Do any of you out there have further pictures and or proto type data/information on it?
My understanding is that Texas and Northern performed a rather radical modification of a RS3 to come up with this particular model.
Fire Suppression in 1955 Vintage Roundhouse
I'll be detailing the roundhouse's interior on my HO railroad and hope my fellow modelers may have information. How would a mid-1950s western Class 1 railroad with steam and diesel motive power equip their roundhouses, back shops, and other work buildings with fire suppression? Hose reels? Or? Unfortunately my Internet searches have proved fruitless.
Renovating track in 1:1
I came across this video of travk being pulled up to be replaced. Its amazing how much more rigid our 'flextrack' is than the prototype!
No Waybills
Over on a early railroad operations forum, there was a discussion about "slow railroading", modeling the inefficiency and congestion of early railroads brought on by poor communication and no/low per diem.
USAF paint match vehicles in the 60's & 70's
I need some help finding a hobby paint that will match the USAF Strata Blue used on vehicles in the 60s and 70's. I have a couple USAF flatcars that I would like to add some loads of air force trucks and will need to paint them.
Thanks, Rodney
