Various projects - nkp_174 - 06-14-2010 I haven't been posting as much over the past 6 months (busy with school/job search and family, mostly), so here are a few photos of various things I've been working on: Step castings for 1879 DSP&P shop built passenger cars 36'2"x8' underframe for Oahu Railway passenger cars (On3). It is a spot-on match for the surviving prototypes...the correct end beams, steps, bolsters, and needle beams are in development. The South Park's Baggage-Express car #40. I've concluded that the windows should have arched tops, not square, so I'll have to fix them. The DSP&P's stock cars were few in number. They were the least numerous revenue cars on the freight roster...being about 1% of the fleet. I like stock cars, so I'll have a few of them modeled. My next stock car will be masters for an Oahu Railway stock car kit (no plans have ever been published, but I have enough prototype info/photos to create them accurately) Re: Various projects - Gary S - 06-14-2010 Thanks for sharing the photos Michael. I especially like the scratchbuilt frame. Am looking forward to the progress on that one. Re: Various projects - nkp_174 - 06-14-2010 Thanks Gary. You reminded me that I have a thread on that one: <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2560">viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2560</a><!-- l -->
