With this installment we take an in-depth look at the Chaffee sub-division. Doodlebugging on the Frisco 9 Number twenty-six in our series of articles profiling the history of Friscos fleet of Motor Cars, this installment has a dual purpose. One is to profile one of the most unique members of Friscos fleet of Doodlebugs and the other is to clarify some long-standing confusion about its origins. The unit in question is Frisco No. 2900. Modeling Friscos SD45s 11 This is the first in a three part article in which Frisco Folk and Frisco Modeling Information Editor Richard Napper provides detailed, step-by-step, proce- dures for modeling Friscos SD45 series road engines. Down At The Depot 19 Chaffee, MO, on the River Division is the featured station in this issue. Research Service Up-Date 6 Two Up-Dated photos are included in this issue.

  • HO-Scale Conversion List Handout
    ® HO-SCALE COUPLER CONVERSION LIST 7-8-21 The Coupler People Most of the below listings have conversion drawing and instructions on our web site at www.kadee.com/hocc.htm Newer models that have factory installed knuckle couplers are easily converted by using our standard head #148 or scale head #158 Whisker® Couplers. Always check the coupler heights with either our #205 or newer #206 Coupler Height Gauge. This coupler conversion list is our suggested starting coupler for the conversion. (Typically requiring the least modification to a model utilizing our newest couplers even though other couplers also work for the model). Our conversion’s based on only one model from a production run, there may be inconsistencies in a model’s production run that require a different coupler or model modifications to achieve the proper coupler height for coupler function.

    © U.S. Department Locomotive Crashworthiness of Transportation Federal Railroad and Cab W orking Conditions Administration Report to Congress Office of Safety Assurance and Compliance September 1996 stives THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20590 Septem ber 18, 1996 The Honorable Albert Gore, Jr. President o f the Senate Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear M r. President: I am pleased to submit the enclosed report prepared by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) on “Locomotive Crashworthiness and Cab Working Conditions,” as requested by the Rail Safety Enforcement and Review Act, Public Law 102-365. This report responds to the congressional mandate to report on issues related to: • health and safety of locomotive cab working conditions; • effectiveness of Association of American Railroads (AAR) Specification S-580; and • benefits and cost of additional locomotive crashworthiness features. The report summarizes the findings of FRA’s study, which included research on locomotive crashworthiness features, extensive consultations with a wide range of interested parties, and a field survey of actual locomotive working conditions. These findings indicate that a number of the crashworthiness features and working condition improvements identified in the Act merit further action by FRA in cooperation with the private sector. Identified priority safety improvements include implementation of stronger collision posts and fu ll height corner posts, incorporation of a crash refuge, improved fuel tank design, and improved methods to control noise and temperature levels inside the locomotive cab. Consistent with FRA’s emphasis on promoting a collaborative approach to railroad safety, FRA w ill seek the participation of railroads, employee representatives, manufacturers and suppliers, and other interested persons in determining the specific actions that may be appropriate to advance the safety and health of railroad crew members, based on the results of this study and other information that the parties may make available.
