I would very much like to create a similar kit of parts to build these in O scale for Proto:48. My 3D printer is itching to make parts!

Fellow RRHS member Mike Sparks and I switch the Momentive Performance Materials (think GE Silicone Rubber) plant at Waterford NY with exCNR #1337, now SMS #1337. Nice little unit.

Do you like the notion of a mountain r...Hi, Adrian;<br />Do you like the notion of a mountain railroad with towering fir trees, rushing rivers and tall timber trestles? How about a "main line" which was actually a branch line of the transcontinental Canadian Pacific Railway that interchanged with several coal and lumbering branches? Set this in 1940, and everything would be steam powered; by 1950 this had become CP's first fully dieselized division in this country. A group of 13 Baldwin road switchers acquired in 1949 had accomplished this objective. Shift ahead to 1955, and the remaining passenger trains would be powered by Budd RDCs. Steam power on the logging lines would last until about 1960. Steam on these lines took the form both of geared locomotives and rod-driven tank locos. I'm referring, of course, to CP's Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway on Vancouver Island. Author Robert D. Turner is the expert on British Columbia railways in general, and those of Vancouver Island in particular. If you can find a copy, read his book entitled "Vancouver Island Railroads" (Golden West Books, 1975.).

It seems like there is a good bunch of CP guys around doing prototype modeling.<br /><br />Any Suggestions for a 1930,1940 branch line that interchanges with a logging operation? That could be a dangerous question for me to ask though.Bateyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10047697000578875889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622047938401309680.post-29497356480634362122017-08-26T08:39:50.695-04:002017-08-26T08:39:50.695-04:00Really great write-up on the SW1200RS units, Peter...Really great write-up on the SW1200RS units, Peter!
