I had started it, but then put it away. I suspect that was because the instructions, which likely 100% complete, but is only 50% understandable in a step-by-step or car-by-car process. Setting some goals to clear out started but not completed is one of them. <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Researching the history of this car(s) it appears to have been the leading innovation in mixed length container trains. I believe some of these are still running.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Information Needed – I want to sketch out the dimensions of this car and wanted to start with the wheelbase, but searching for 2 days on google/bing yields zero results. Has anyone seen drawings of these below? I’ve measured the models themselves using just a scale ruler, but this could be off 3-6 inches.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> In my reassessment of this project, I think it will be faster to design the detail parts since one part is used on multiple cars. Atlas has an O scale version of this and images that came up in my search it looks like the pivoting braces/blocks are working. Is there one of those in the club?<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <img border="0" width="815" height="502" style="width:8.493in;height:5.2291in" id="m_1593569237181547571Picture_x0020_3" src="cid:image001.png@01D92C1C.FA347AB0"><o:p></o:p> A-LINE KIT HO SCALE<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <img border="0" width="600" height="211" style="width:6.25in;height:2.2013in" id="m_1593569237181547571Picture_x0020_4" src="cid:image002.gif@01D92C1C.FA347AB0"><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> ATLAS MODEL –O SCALE ATSF ECONO STACK<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> I don’t know if the new assembled cars come with revised detail parts, I figure once you get the detail parts, getting the body shape is a piece of cake. <o:p></o:p> <img border="0" width="801" height="910" style="width:8.3402in;height:9.4791in" id="m_1593569237181547571Picture_x0020_5" src="cid:image003.png@01D92C1C.FA347AB0"><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> I have close up photos of the Sea-Land cars. I came across these one day between Livermore to Pleasanton. So I came back later with camera to take photos. After shooting about an entire 24 shot 35mm roll, I noticed a white pickup truck and a man walking to the tracks, then I noticed on the pickup truck Railroad Police. He told me to leave and stay away. This was years before 9.1.1.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> </div> </div> _______________________________________________ Accrs mailing list <a href="mailto:Accrs@mail.accrs.org" target="_blank">Accrs@mail.accrs.org</a> <a href="https://mail.accrs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/accrs" target="_blank">https://mail.accrs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/accrs</a><o:p></o:p> </div> </blockquote> </div> </div> </body> </html>
