    MLS MasterClass - 2002 Build a 2-6-6T / 0-6-6T Mason Bogie An Adventure in 1:20.3 By David Fletcher Chapter 3 - Mr. Mason, Bogies & Boilers Background Welcome back to the Mason show...and onward we march. This month we're looking at Mason's 1870 Technology and building the boiler for our Mason Bogie models. This is almost a turning point chapter in that this month your model will transform from a bunch of white styrene parts to a part-loco loaded with personal style and the style of Mr. Mason himself. We're talking 'Character' and from this chapter on, character is unavoidable. Your model will begin talking to you. The Model will also begin to be so damn stylish; it will provide the added incentive to finish. Long into the dark of the night you'll hear the cries coming out of the box where your unfinished model is stored: "finish me, finish me finish me...." Copyright 2002 - myLargescale.com/Model Railroads Online, LLC Background - Time to learn a bit more about Mr. Mason, his innovations, patents and design principles. This chapter is brought to us by George Sebastian-Coleman. George was a former Technical Editor to Model Railroader and Garden Railways, and employee of Grandt Line. For the last 30 years, George has made the delightful Mason Bogie a personal pursuit. Construction - This month we build the boiler, we produce the coveted Russia Iron finish, build the domes, headlight and bracket, stack and running boards. Again, like chapter 2, the work of this chapter can be done without having the BBT 2-6-6/0-6-6T drive.

    BUILDERS OF COLORADO OFFICE OF ARCHEOLOGY AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH COLORADO HISTORICAL SOCIETY Firm: Baldwin Locomotive Works Location: Philadelphia (Eddystone, PA, in 1912) Operating Dates: 1831-1956 Principals: Matthias W. Baldwin Information Jeweler and silversmith Matthias Baldwin founded the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1831. The original manufacturing plant was on Broad Street in Philadelphia where the company did business for 71 years until moving in 1912 to Eddystone, PA. Baldwin made its reputation building steam locomotives for the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, and many of the other North American railroads, as well as for overseas railroads in England, France, India, Haiti and Egypt. Baldwin locomotives found their way onto the tracks of most Colorado railroads, both standard and narrow gauge. Baldwin built a huge number of 4-4-0 American type locomotives, but was perhaps best known for the 2-8-2 Mikado (D&RGW No. 491) and 2-8-0 Consolidation types (D&RGW No. 346 and DSP&P No. 191).1 It was also well known for the unique cab-forward 4-8-8-2 articulated locomotives built for the Southern Pacific Railroad and the massive 2-10-2 engines for the Santa Fe Railroad. One of Baldwin's last new and improved locomotive designs was the 4-8-4 (Northern) locomotive (Santa Fe No. 2911). In 1939, Baldwin offered its first standard line of diesel locomotives, all designed for rail yard service. Two years later, America's entry into World War II destroyed Baldwin's diesel development program when the War Production Board dictated that ALCO (American Locomotive Company) and Baldwin produce only diesel-electric yard switching engines.

BRIGHT, Jr. THE MACMILLAN COMPANY • NEW YORK 1949 FOREWORD THIS study of the economic development of the electric- lamp industry is the second volume in a series of studies on the economics of innovation, undertaken at the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology. The creative role played by science and technology in modern economic life is apparent to everyone. But we know relatively little about the human factors which condition the introduction of technological change into our environment. Are there barriers to innovation inherent in the increasing concentration of power in a few large concerns? Does the patent system, designed as an incentive to invention, act more often as a brake on new develop- ments? What has been the role of key personalities in creating change? Are there lessons to be drawn from the past on how the innovating process can be more effective, not only from the standpoint of achieving a higher standard of material being but from the point of view of smoother human relations? Certainly, material progress at any price is not a satisfactory goal. On the other hand, freedom for creative action in initiating and carrying out new developments is a basic human drive for many individu- als. I believe, personally, that a great society should strive toward a goal which will give to individuals and groups the maximum opportunities for creative expression; yet this means to me that the State must act to prevent the compulsive pressure of some particular group from overriding others to the destruction of human values.
