[Accrs-ho] Gunderson 62-ft 70 ton Flat Cars

[ACCRS HO Scale]

Tony:

No, I didn't see those lumber loads.

While up in Portland for the NMRA convention, I looked for a hobby shop that advertised lumber loads.  I've seen the ad in the model railroad magazines, but forgot to make a copy of it, and then couldn't find, what I thought was a hobby store.  I think its a person that works out of his home, that makes these loads.  If I find it, I will clue you in on it.

I thought of you while I was at the train show in Portland.  Tangent Scale Models introduced a new model at the show.  Its a P-S PS-3 2750 Cubic Foot 3-bay hopper car.  One of the road names is Rock Island.  The other two, were Great Northern (red car), and Utah Railway, which is the one I was most interested in.  I first purchased four of the 12 road numbers available, and went back later, and purchased four more cars, so that I have eight of the 12 numbers.  Will call them directly for the last four cars.

Lee,  we'll need to create custom lumber loads for these.    A couple years at the Bay Area Prototype Modelers meet in Emeryville/Berekley there was a man who created cut lumber loads on his table saw.  Did you see this one?  I had some pictures of it but can't find them.  Might have been left on an old phone.   He had a nice idea on the way to do these - it looks like board by board load, but he sliced this to scale, made indents on the ends and then sandwiched them together to make a convincing  lumber stack.  
   
  
  
If you come across any photos of real cars packed with lumber please let me know.
