I'm calling this mostly done! Added some final details/ weathering and I'm fairly happy with the result. Still needs a brake wheel though

If people want I'll upload the files on cults3d as a pay what you want! Any sales goes towards new 3d projects

We manage to cath the TD&W's own veritable F7 units in A-B-A formation, F7A number 2975 'Fiona', F7B number 2976 'Frankie', and F7A 2977 'Francesca' leading the Wolfram bound Scorpion having raced all the way up from Trinidad, Colorado.

Finally after a long time I managed to finish my small collection of The Smoke Room characters as HO scale figurines (1:87),and here it is!

The risks in tiny drilling are two and a half. (1) You will not get the angle quite perfect; in correcting it, you break the drill bit. (2) You break the bit off in the casting irrecoverably. (2.5) You burn through too many bits. Wax lubricant helps - as does experience. #HOScale #ModelRailroad

I don’t know about the rest of you, but seeing this sticker on the front of a Bachmann DCC locomotive really doesn’t make me want to buy that (or any) Bachmann DCC locomotive.
#bachmann #dcc #modeltrains #modelrailroad #hoscale

Sticker on a Bachmann locomotive box which reads: Note: In many cases, programming issues may cause a Bachmann locomotive to stop running. You can restore operation by programming two CV's as follows: On sound decoders, set CV30 to 2. On non-sound decoders, set CV8 to 8. Then turn off the power to the loco, then back on again. This will restore the decoder to factory settings. MM121911

With the main body casting cleaned up, we are ready for the most dangerous game: drilling the holes for the many grabirons with a tiny (and breakable!) #79 drill bit. #ProjectHarlow #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway #Frisco

Next comes the fine detail filing with a jeweler's file, where you have to be a bit careful about getting the angles straight and not over-doing it. #ProjectHarlow #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway #Frisco

Layout update: This weekend is the local train show, which yielded new freight cars, another U25C… and a DCC controller!! I’m getting dangerously close to an actual, honest to god layout now…

After trimming most of it off with nippers, wet filing made quick work of the rest and prevented toxic resin dust from forming. #ProjectHarlow #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway #Frisco

One of the nice features of more recent Westerfield kits is a one-piece body, saving the effort of squaring it up right. The trade-off is that flash on the body tends to be thicker and more of a chore to remove. #ProjectHarlow #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway #Frisco

Builder's photos show the two versions originally produced: one with a single sheath end, one with a steel end. This is thought to be one of the earliest steel end box cars made, but we will depict the more common wood single sheath end. #ProjectHarlow #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway #Frisco

Photos of this series are rare. One thread in the RealSTMFC mail list has collected them: realstmfc.groups.io/g/main/topic... Here is the closest to how #ProjectHarlow will look. The main difference is the second grabiron on the left side, which was added later. #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway

The St. Louis and San Francisco, using its Frisco Construction Company subsidiary, ordered 1000 single sheathed, forty-foot box cars from American Car & Foundry on June 12, 1912. See the attached history from the Westerfield instructions. #ProjectHarlow #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway #Frisco

FRISCO SAWTOOTH VARIATIONS Installations The St. Louis and San Francisco, using its Frisco Construction Company subsidiary, ordered one thousand single sheathed, forty-foot box cars from American Car & Foundry on June 12, 1912. Assigned AC&F lot 6709, the cars were produced at the St. Louis plant in December 1912 and January 1913. The cars were described in extensive detail including general arrangement and photos in the October 3, 1913 issue of Railway Age Gazette. "In designing the......cars that road has given special attention to making the cars burglar, water and grain leakage proof, as well as providing a smooth style of interior construction,..... with a view to reducing to a minimum the destruction or injury to package freight in paper bags, boxes or other insecure packages. The cars are of the outside steel frame or Canadian Pacific type construction.” The cars featured Murphy XLA roofs, Andrews trucks and a heavy "sawtooth” underframe with twenty-six inch center sill. Although most of the cars used single sheathed ends, experimental steel outward-corrugated ends supplied by the Standard Railway Equipment Company were applied to twenty-seven cars for test purposes. Diagonal straps on the sides held the ends in place. To our knowledge, these were the first such ends used on any car. They were assigned series 126973-126999. The builder's photos show steel end car 126998 and SS end car 126999. After the photo the latter must have been re-numbered INSTALLATION OF SL&SF BOX CARS Series Builder Lot Date Place No. Of Cars 126000-126999 AC&F 6709 12/12-1/13 St.Louis 1,000Rebuildings The cars were re-sheathed and re-roofed in 1926. Although the car diagram specifies a Murphy roof, the new roofs appear to be identical to the standard Hutchins design of the period. A brace was added to the door. In the early 1940s a second grab iron was added to the left end ofthe side, 21" above the first. Probably at the same time bulge plates were added to the side sill as added protection against grain leakage. Beginning about 1946 some of the cars were converted to maintenance of way cars. Those converted for stores had no physical changes but the stores cars were renumbered to the 104050- 104099 series. Cars were also converted for tools, frog repair, dining and sleeping cars among others by cutting windows and doors in the sides and in some cases, the ends. These were renumbered to the 102950-102999 series. As shown in the longevity chart the cars were scrapped out in the late 1940s with only eight left in 1950 and three in 1953. The last cars were gone from interchange service by January 1950. MOW cars ran into the 1970s. LONGEVITY OF SL-SF BOX CARS ORIG. 10/19 12/30 1/40 1/45 7/50 1/55 1,000 987 953 819 637 8 0

I have named #ProjectHarlow after Jean Harlow (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Ha...), born in Missouri in the 1910s like this box car. I will build it as it would have appeared in ~1937 at the time of her unfortunate early passing. bsky.app/profile/fake... #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway #Frisco

ALCos Meet Lima On Sunday, September 27, 2026, SP 2400 was with 2409 leading a local freight passing a train lead by SP 4445, a Lima 4-8-4, SP Class GS-4. This is at the Tri-City Society of Model Engineers (TCSME) model railroad club in the historic Niles depot in Fremont, CA. My C-415 models are both English (Bowser) models. The 4445 is my son's BLI model. The real SP 2400 was an ALCo C-415, SP Class AS415-1. Reportedly: it was built in 1966 builder's number 3458-1. Sold in 1977 to Fundidora Monterrey a steel mill in Monterrey, Mexico with some other C-415s. -- iPhone 18 Pro Image Photo by Steve Sloan Please do not edit, crop, colorize, "correct" or "improve" any of my photos without asking me first.
