World War II took an awful toll on the fleet, most of the early GLs were soon retired after the war (although the PRR continued to buy good-condition used GL models into the 1960s!). The H21 Fleet went through two more post-war rebuild­ ing programs resulting in H21 e in the late 1940s and H21 g in the early 1960s. Somehow the GLa fleet avoided having any subclasses added to it other than a small number of GLgs which probably were in captive ore service.

In 1955 the road made two car orders for a new H35 design from Bethlehem Steel (1200 cars) and American Car & Foundry (800). The cars probably represented what the road would like to have bought in mass if it only had the financial strength to swing such a deal, but its bot­ tom line was weakening. Desperate for hoppers, the road arranged to lease 2,000 class H2a hoppers from the N&W (which was partly owned by the PRR), but still the fleet wasn't able to carry the traffic. The bad order rates for cars were probably soaring out of control as one would expect with a fleet of cars averaging over 40 years of age.

In N Scale Life-Like EMD bySD7 By Robert Schleicher Performance Data by Guy Thrams

Life-Like is continuing to expand its series of N scale diesels, based on specific prototype locomotives, that are also replicas of their excellent HO scale Proto 2000 line. Now, the EMO S07 joins the diesel roster that includes the BL2, FA2, FB2, GP18 and E8/9. These locomotives do not have all the individual details that would be the N scale equivalents of Proto 2000, but they also sell for about half the price of a (yet-to-be-producedl Proto 2000 N scale locomotive or the competitive diesels from Atlas, and Kato.

It is dimensionally the same as Models. Polly Scale 414185, Scalecoat 30 or the SD40, but it has 1,000 fewer horse- power. The SD38 also has two cooling fans on the roof while the SD40 has three. Chesapeake & Ohio SD40 number 7450 was fe atured in the April 1996 issue of "The Journal," so you can use that arti­ cle to compare the two EMD diesels. Only 52 of the SD38 diesels were pro­ duced between May 1967 and July 1971. The SD38 was favored by railroads that needed lighter rail loadings rather than more horsepower. The diesel is popular with modelers, however, because it is operated by unique and colorful little shortlines like the B&LE (who painted them in bright orange and black). The Bessemer & Lake Erie purchased 861, 862 and 863 in 1967. This 640-mile Pennsylvania shortline still rostered F7 diesels in 1993. There's an article on one of the branchlines in the first issue (June 1989) of "The Journal." The SD38 shows its shortline work-a-day heritage in the rerail frog and replacement coupler knuckle slung on the lead truck, ready for what is apparently frequent use. It also has a switcher-style pilot with footboards for the switching crews., There's no chain across the end platform handrails, just a cleverly-designed pair of bent tubes to act as a safety gate. SCALE MODEL SD38s HO Scale: Rail Power Products (7283 No. Stagecoach Dr., Park City, UT 84060) makes an SD40 body with a chassis to fit AthearnSD45 trucks and drive train parts. The body will also accept modified Athearn SD45 handrails.

RAILMODEL JOURNAL • JUNE 1996 15 [ CREATE-YOUR-OWN-KIT ------]

Yo u can scratchbuild a structure almost as quickly as you can assemble a kit once you learn the simple steps in the "Scribe-'N­ Snap" technique. This month we'll show you how to assemble the foundation and loading dock, add trim and railings, the quick way to paint and finish the model and install a sign and leHers. In later issues, we'll show you how to weather the model, install it in a diorama and, eventually, how to paint, weather and complete the oil depot. We'll also illustrate specifi­ cally which tank cars and box cars would serve this bulk oil dealer in any given era. An index of previ­ ous articles on scratchbuilding and on tank cars and the industry they served appear on pages 30-3 1 of this issue.

Quick-clip trim and valances Use Evergreen Scale Models HO scale 2x2 or Plastruct .020 x .020-inch strips for the valances under the eaves of the roof. Hold one strip by the excess length while you apply liquid cement for plastics to retain the strip. Look down the strip to be sure it is par­ allel to the edge of the roof and perfectly straight. Cut the strip to length a few minutes after the cement dries.

Install the strip along the adjacent roof eave using the same technique. Cut the strip where it touches the first strip. Repeat the process to provide eave details for all four edges of the roof.

Inspect the roof eaves for signs of excess plastic left over from the pressure-cement­ ing process described in Part II. Look for any gaps in the roof, and if any are visi­ ble, HII them with automobile' body "spot" putty and let it dry overnight. Carefully shave between each raised strip to obtain a slightly rounded edge on the roof to sim- ulate rolled sheet metal.

Note that this model has been modified, compared to the plan, by removing three feet from the top of all the walls and about ten feet from the front of the load­ ing dock.

The Southern Pacific Railroad, dur­ ing the heyday of steam power, is being recreated, in giant 0 scale, by Si Simonton. His layout features virtually anything that's ever been made as a model for the Southern Pacific plus some incredible scratch­ built models and spectacular scenery. Yo u can see it at the 1996 NMRAConvention in July.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC

T he locale of the Squander Plenty Line is the former Southern Pacific route through the Santa Cruz mountains between Los Gatos and Santa Cruz. My memories are of the 1930s peri­ od when spent some summers on the Big I Tree Dairy. The dairy was adjacent to the Felton station and the Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. The Squander Plenty Line was built with the idea of continuous running through wooded mountainous terrain. Approximately eighteen months were spent designing the layout and the building to house it. The door and windows were located to get maximum running area with adequate scenery space. Even after all this effort, there are modifications I would 2. make next time. photo The trestles were built from Model Structures plans using their nut/bolt/washer The time-consuming task of building castings and stripwood.

The weathering patterns on this DTS car give it a special character.

This car was modified after it had been painted and lettered. The side sill is modified with a notch filed into the tapered angles near the trucks. Evergreen .040 x .040-inch styrene strips are added to make the sill even for the length of the car, ending just inside the steps. The gaps in the strip and sill are filled with automobile body spot putty.
