Nearly units were purchased 1300 by more than railroads during its 20 1966 -1971 production years. Several roads still use the SD45 today. At last, KATO Precision Railroad Models has masterfully recreated this cylinder, 20 3600 horsepower workhorse, with the outstanding detail and performance that KATO is known for. This model is available in seven popular road­ names with two engine numbers per road, as well as undecorated.

In the immediate period after its introduction, the 50-foot PS- I box car was sl6w to gain acceptance by the rail­ roads. While 40-foot PS- I s were in peak production during the early 1950s, 50-foot PS- I output was nil.

The door was actually a "door-and-a-half' with a 6- and 3-foot double-door arrangement. The inside height was uncommon for a PS- I at 10 feet 0 inches. In 1953, only two lots were produced, both with IS-foot dou­ ble doors and riveted side panels. The DT&I bought 300, and Monon (CIL) purchased one car. Why would Monon buy just one?

Major Period of Production Beginning in 1954 and continuing for several years, 50-foot PS- I box cars were manufactured in significant quan­ tities for numerous railroads. At that time, the purchase of 40-foot box cars throughout the industry began a steady decline and 50-foot box cars became the more practical choice.

efore the diesel era, small steam switchers, with slopeback ten­ ders for good visibility to the B rear were indispensable for yard operations. Small drivers (around 52 inches in diameter) pro­ duced high starting tractive force. Slow speeds meant that leading and trailing trucks were not needed - a bonus. as the entire engine weight thus was on the drivers. The HO scale 0-4-0 model from Mantua is made in the U.S. and com­ bines a time-proven drive system with well-detailed engine and tender shells. The model has a working headlight, a direction-controlled tender light. a brass bell and metal handrails. Chassis details and tender truck sideframes are careful­ ly designed. A lead weight in the smokebox adds to the driver tractive force. The model as tested weighed 10.86 ounces. Drive System An open frame motor with an Alnico magnet energizing iron field pieces is mounted solidly on the diecast engine frame. A brass worm on the motor shaft engages a plastic helical gear on the front driving axle. The reduction ratio is 27: 1.The steel axles run in brass sleeves set in slots in the diecast frame.

The design has been steadily M Use a small screwdriver to remove the long screw that holds the boiler to the frame. updated and improved Swing the superstructure up and forward to free the rear of the boiler from the frame. over the last half century and more highly detailed plastic superstructures have been added. The original Mantua models, and some of the current locomotives, are fit­ ted with an "open frame" motor where the rotating armature is visible through the sides of the motor. Most Mantua steam locomotives, however, are now equipped with full-enclosed "can" motors. Bob Higgins has tested three Mantua steam locomotives, including the 0-6-0T and the 2-6-6-2 (both with open-frame motors) in the June 1991 issue and the 2-8-2 (with the new can­ style motor) in the June 1994 issue. We installed a Mashima can motor (from Proto Power West) in the 2-6-6-2 in the June 1991 issue and Bob reported the much-improved results. Now, Mantua has developed its own can motor "retrofit" kits: The 812 kit Remove the screw that attaches the fiber drawbar (and the ground wire's terminal from has a small can-style motor and is the motor) and the screw that attaches the motor wire to the locomotive frame. intended for the small 0-4-0, 0-6-0, 2-6-0 and similar-size locomotives (Mantua locomotive part numbers 301 throug� 310, 313, 314, 315, 319, 322, 323, 335, 338, 361, 362, 368, 374, 375, 376, 377, 380, 387, 389, 390 and 391) 340, 34 1, 342, 344 and 367, and retails motor and to the terminal clips.

Heavy·duty aluminum foil, intended for freezing food, is available at most super­ markets. The foil can be used to make cor­ rugated siding for any scale. First, find a modelers screwdriver (or, perhaps, some household hand tool) with a knurled han· die that has knurls spaced to the size of corrugations for your modeling scale. Carefully wrap the foil around the handle, pressing the foil into the knurls with your fingers, smoothing-out any wrinkles in the foi l as you go.

Carefully and gently unwrap the foil to reveal the scale-size corrugations. The fo il can be cut into 2x6 or 2x8-scale-foot sheets and applied to a roof or building wall using clear silicone bathtub caulking. - Albin Bu EARN $20.00 We'll pay you $20.00 for each "Top Tip" we publish.

50-FOOT FGE BOX CARS Upgrading Atlas N Scale or Wa lthers HO Scale

By Robert Schleicher

The new Atlas N scale model is a fine replica of a common prototype car. There are photographs of the prototypes in the February and April 1993 issues of HThe Journal. " Walthers makes an HO scale model of the same prototype car. This is one of a continuing series of articles on upgrading N scale models to match the appearance of HO scale's bet­ ter models. There's an index of those articles on pages 12-13 of this issue.

Before ... A color photo of the model appears on page 3 .

... And after. Etched stirrup steps, end platforms and brake wheel , Micro-Train couplers and subtle weathering were used to upgrade this Atlas N scale model to match the better HO scale kits. The weath­ ering (described in the December 1993 issue) makes the molded-on ladders and grabirons stand out so they look more like individual wire parts. This same car can be modeled in HO scale using Walther's kit, etched components from plano Models and Kadee couplers.

Use a small screwdriver to gently pry the trucks from the bolsters. Insert the screw­ driver as close to the mounting pins as possible so you do not break off the pin.

PAGE RAILMODEL JOURNAL - JUNE 22 1995 Pry the floor from inside the body.

Carefully slice the molded-on stirrup steps from the bottom edge of the body. Hold the knife at a slight angle, to match the angle across the bottom of the side sill, so there are no depressions along the straight edge of the finished sill.

Prythe brake wheel from the end of the car. Gold Medal Models, 12332 Chapman Ave., No. 81, Garden Grove, CA 92640, produces etched brass components to upgrade virtually any N scale freight car. This 160-47 "Modern Boxcar Details" set includes stirrup steps, brake wheels and end platforms for about seven cars for $8.00 plus $1.00 postage and handling. Use a small screwdriver to bend the stirrup steps out at about a 45-degree angle from the sheet so they will be easier to cut.

Use fingernail scissors to trim the individ­ ual stirrup steps from the sheet. With the steps bent up, it's easier to get the tips of the scissors into the edges of the step. RAILMODEL JOURNAL - JUNE 1995 PAGE 23 50-FOOT FGE

This particular car has three steps on each side. The rectangle is the end platform grid that mounts above the coupler. On the prototype cars, it's an anti-skid metal mesh. On the Atlas model it's represented with just a plastic ridge. Only one brake wheel is needed on each car. Use a jewel­ ers file to remove any traces of the etched attaching point from the edges of the brake wheel and the end platforms.

Use a hobby knife to make a deep cut across the bottom of the coupler pocket.

Slice across the top of the coupler pocket, along the molded-in ridge.

Hold the bolster in needlenose pliers and pry up and down on the coupler pocket. The pocket should snap off cleanly along the lines you cut.

Use a number 62 drill bit, mounted in pin vise, to drill mounting holes for the 00-90 screws furnished with the Micro-Trains 1023 (assembled) or 1025 (kit) couplers.

PAGE 24 RAILMODEL JOURNAL - JUNE 1995 Use either th ickened hobby-type cyano­ acrylate cement or five-minute epoxy to hold the coupler pocket firmly to the car. Install the 00-90 Micro-Trains mounting screw. The mounting .screw will serve to reinforce the cement or epoxy. Use only a small drop of the cement, placed so it can­ not accidentally flow inside the coupler pocket to seize the coupler.

Use thickened hobby-type cyanoacrylate cement or five-minute epoxy to attach the stirrup steps. Mount the steps to the inner edges of the sill so they hang down below the car side sill the same distance as the original steps.

Use the Atlas mounting pins to install the trucks. Mount the truckS with the cut-off pocket towards the center of the car. The trucks may interfere with the rear of the coupler pocket. If they do, remove the truck and slice more material from the edge near the bolster. Use the Micro­ Trains 1055 Coupler Height Gauge to check the height of the coupler and the brake hose.

Paint the end platforms and the brake­ wheel aluminum and let the paint dry overnight. Use the thickened hobby-type cyanoacrylate cement or five-minute epoxy to attach the end platforms.

Cement or epoxy the etched brass brake wheel in place of the original brake wheel. The car is now ready for a quick weathering with powdered pastel chalks.

Part I, of this series, in the October 1994 issue of "The Journal," describes how to fit a typical Rail Power SD60M body' onto an Athearn chassis, with a chart of the alternative chassis available from Overland, Proto Power West, and Hobby town. There's an index of previous articles on upgrading HQ scale diesels on pages 12-13 of this issue. The Rail Power bodies do not include clear plastic win­ dows. Laser-cut p lastic win­ dows are avail able from American Model Builders. Vacuum-formed clear plastic windows are available from Run 8 Productions. Here's how to install the Run 8 windows in the same SD60M that was illustrated in the October 1994 issue.

Run 8 Productions, P.O. Box 25224, Rochester, NY 14625, makes a variety of clear plastic windows for all of the Rail Power bodies and for some of the stan­ dard Athearn bodies as well. This set for the SD60M is $2.00. Order from your dealer. If you must order direct, include $2.00 for postage and handling.

Step 1. The basic cornstalks come from this specific type of plastic Christmas wreath. The p lastic that simulates the pine needles is wrapped around a wire core.

Step 3. Use scissors to cut away the edges of th e plastic so each 11/2-inch piece looks like these. This will keep the stalks from getting too thick and bushy.

Hold the stolks in a pair of pliers so you don't burn your fingers. You may also want to wear a cotton glove to protect your hand from the heat.

Step 5. Paint the stalks with Floquil's Depot Buff paint. Use an air brush to apply the paint.

Step 6. The system is easiest if you use some blue Styrofoam insulating board for the basic field. Use a large comb to make furrows about 1/4-i nch apart by dragging the comb over the Styrofoam with a lot of pressure. Paint the basic cornfield brown and a'pply some real dirt, sifted through a flour strainer or door screen. Flood the area with a mixture of equal parts water and artists matte medium to set the dirt. The core of each cornstalk is wire, so the cornstalks can now be pushed into the field with pliers. With practice, )'OU can finish a field like this in a couple of hours.

The p arts, paint and decals you'll need to duplicate this full-size diesel in miniature.

he GPGO is Electro-Motive's most powerful four-axle diesel, . with 3,800 rated horsepower. T The GP60 was a direct develop­ ment of the 3,500-horsepower GP50, produced between May 1980 and November 1985. GP60 production began in October 1985 with Electro­ Motive's own three demonstrator (hence, the term "demo") diesels paint­ ed blue and white and numbered 5, 6 and 7. These first three GP60s had rounded corners on the cab (visible in the photo of no. 7) and on the horizontal and ver­ tical edges of the nose. Later production versions of the GP60 had conventional nose and cab corners. PhaseI GP60s had the same type dynamic brake blis­ ters as the EMD demo units. The March 1993 issue of "The Journal" has a "One-Qetail-At-A-Time" article on the Cotton Belt (SSW) GP60 that shows the production version of the cab. That unit also has the Phase II style square-cor­ nered dynamic brake blister. There is no visible difference between the early (Phase I) production versions of the GP60 and the GP50. The three demo units also had rubber springs in the trucks, but that was an option on both GP50 and GP60 production units. There is enough material in the cor­ ners of the Athearn cab and nose to allow the modeler to round off the cor­ ners with a file and wet-or-dry sandpa­ per to match the contours of the three EMD demo units. The Cannon replace­ ment cab and short hood should only be used in detailing production versions of the GP60.
