N Scale . Alco PA-1/PB-1

N 1951, a diminutive man in Tokyo sat down to build a model of an PRECISION RAILROAD MODELS IAmerican railroad locomotive. Using plans of the actual locomotive he had received after writing the Santa Fe Railroad, the end result of his efforts was a remarkably accurate and highly detailed model of ALCO PA-l. More than 40 years later, that "diminutive man in Tokyo" is looked upon as a giant in the model railroading industry. He is Yuji Kato, founder of KATO Precision Railroad Models. From his own personal passion for making models, he has built his company into one of the most respected names in the business. In honor of Mr. Kato, KATO Precision Railroad Models will release the N scale ALCO PA-l and PB-l in May/June (expected) to hobby dealers around the world. These new models will be produced with the same high level of passion of authenticity and commitment to detail that Mr. Kato gave his first handcrafted version. And while bearing the precision craftsmanship of the past, these models will also look to the future with the capacity for easy installation of after-market DCC decoder by the modeler. These models will be produced in seven popular road names, plus an undecorated A+B two-unit set. Depending on the road, these models will be delivered from the factory as an individually packaged A-unit and a two-unit set (A-unit + A-unit or A-unit + B-unit). There will be three versions of the A-unit body shell, accurately replicating the numberboards and headlight arrangement of the actual prototypes. All models will be delivered equipped with the new scale Kato knuckle coupler, compatible with all popular brands of N scale knuckle couplers. These models provide the unique opportunity for modelers around the world to commemorate a memorable machine and a masterful modeler.

hi le some consider the GP20 as the Great North ern Railroad's introduction to second-generation diesel power, most dedicated GN fans will disagree. The GP20s were rebuilt from FT units deliv­ ered in the 40s, and they retained th e tra­ ditional GP lines of the earlier GP7s and 9s. The GP 30s were truly the GN's first move into the second-generation era (as they were with most American rai lroads) with th eir sleek, streamlined appearance, a radical departure from the earlier GP s. The GP30s were the fi rst units delivered to GN in the "intermediate" paint scheme of orange and green, without th e yellow stripes. They were also the fi rst GN diesels configured to operate with th e short hood forward and with the low The primered model with end handrails, coupler lift bars and MU hoses in place.

Pullman car "Morris" was a 12-section/l -drawing room/I -compartment car built in 1913. It was used for Frisco and Katy Texas Special service.

Note the dif­ ferent arrangement of the four windows on the extreme left of this 12/1 /1 car as compared to the slightly different interior in the proto­ types for Rivarossi's 12/1 car. -Gerrit Bruin photo

In Part One we will look at some brief developments leading to construct ion of these behemoths of the rails and some modeling details in building an MDC styrene 7-com partmentl2 drawing room car of the 1900 time period. Alt hough Pullman was one of the largest corporations in the U.S., it had to respond to public need by depreciating the cost of the entire fleet of wooden Pullman Cars as steel cars were built to replace them. Part One also includes informat ion on detailing the IHC/ The Western Maryland steel business car with simulated-wood exterior and interior panels Rivarossi plastic HO scale model of a at the Pennsylvania Ta te Railroad Museum. 12-sect ion/single-drawing room car, rep­ resenting one of the 4,000-pl us cars of this type that ran the rails of the first half of the twentieth century. The monumental changes that took place in Am erican passenger trains in 1971 (due to the coming of Amtrak) caused many people to predict doom for passenger trains both on the railroads and on model rail roads. But as long as people continue to ride trains and modelers keep on running passenger consists on their railroads, there is some hope for the fut ure of passenger trains. The Transition from Wood to Steel Cars

The coming of steel sleeping cars could be said to have started by the diffi­ culty of obtaining long enough timbers to The queenposts that support the truss rods and turnbuckles on the early steel business car construct SO-foot wood sleeping cars. in Pennsylvania. More likely, however, was the real ization that extra strength and longer life could be obtained from all-steel construction methods. At the turn of the 20t h century, J - - an increasing number of large items once built of wood were now being made of metal: ships and railroad cars (hoppers at first ) showed that parts could be fabricat­ ed by stamping out great numbers of identical pieces as needed by low-paid semiskilled workers, while carpenters and trained workers were required to build wooden railroad equipment . With the construction of the present Grand Central Te rminal (in 1913) and Penn Station in New York (in 1910), it was noted that the long tunnels to be used in the approaches to the stations would require virtually fireproof roll ing stock. The answer was to build steel pas­ senger cars having little or no wood in their construct ion. Although the railroad magazines of the times showed fantastic sc hemes for The panels on this car look like painted tongue-and-grove wood paneling but they are sim­ "state of the art" metal trains such as ply grooved steel made to appear to be wood.

The 1211 provided blocks of sect ions required by most of the riding public, and also had the single drawing room that usuaJly proved sufficient for the occa­ sional fam ily or travellers requiring a deluxe room . In HO sca le, the lHC/Rivarossi "1920s Pullman" represents one of these popular cars. With over 3,000 1211 cars in the pro­ totype pa ssenger car fleet, this is a very useful model. The car has the window arra ngement of the plan 34JO-B cars, although I have photos of 341O-A variants (Green Spring) and some ot her documents that indicate that there may have been some ot her groups of cars with the same window arra ngement. For those wishing to simulate ot her 3410 plan cars, the difference is in the mens lavatory window&: the model comes with four windows including two small pr ismatic windows and a clear, full-sized window in the men's "lounge" (dressing room). The majority of ot her 3410 cars had a pair of large clear windows in that loca­ tion. This can be modeled by replac ing the two single windows with a pa ired window from New England Rail Service window conversion sets. [n this instance, as I am building a fleet of cars, I have chosen to enlarge the sma ll prismatic window to resem­ ble the la rge clear one next to it, forming an im itation of the pa ired windows of the rea l ones.

In this low-angle shot, the Duryea underframe details are clearly silhouetted.-Bob Lorenz collec- RAILMODEL JOURNAL - JUNE 1998 27 the inside. It thus became necessary to apply patches over the rusted-out areas, and by the 1950s most such cars, includ­ ing the B&O's M-26s, had patch panels along the lower sides for the full length of the car. Not only were a variety of trucks applied to the various M-26 sub-classes, but the Baltimore & Ohio changed out the trucks on these cars rather indiscrim­ inately when repairs were required. As a result, truck assignments, confusing enough to start with, became even more confusing with the passage of time, to the point where one can only speculate about which trucks were on wruch cars in the absence of photographic evidence. In fact, many M-26s rode on two diffe rent types of trucks. Several additional M-26 subclasses Cast off by its original owner in the early 1960s, this former M-26A with six-panel replacement doors were created at various times when cars was one of 58 former Baltimore & Ohio box cars acquired second hand by the Louisiana and North were modified for special service assign­ West and numbered in the 6000-6057 series. Most of them lasted through the 1960s and into the ments. The first of these consisted of ten 1970s on the L&NW.-Jack Burgess collection M-26Ds that were converted in 1931 to ventilated box cars with end vents, inter­ nal bulkheads, and ventilator doors. These cars were reclassified M-26F and remained on the roster with numbers 289990-289999 until 1936-37, when they were changed back into M-26Ds. Later, in the 1950s, a few cars were modified for bulk mineral service with roof doors and sheet-steel linings, and these wen; assigned to classes M-26G, The Fine N Scale cast-resin kits have the slightly wavy panel details molded into the sides. The N scale M-26H, and M-26K. Still later, in the kit is only available, at present, with Pennsy X29 details, so it's also a replica of the NKP cars. 1960s, some M-26s were converted into S-l and S-2 class stock cars by cutting slots in the sides and into 0-39F and 0- 39G class coke cars by removing the roofs. However, most cars in the M-26 subclasses remained in general merchan­ dise service throughout their long lives, and in this role they were frequently seen on almost every part of the North American railroad network. Note: Much of the foregoing prototype data on the B&O M-26s was provided by Chris Barkan of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Historical Society. RMJ This model built from a factory-lettered Red Caboose kit, represents one of the Wheeling & Lake Erie cars in the late 1940s, before the W&LE was taken over by the Nickel Plate Road. The W&LE's series cars of 1925 were nearly carbon copies of 1924-25 Pennsylvania Railroad X29s, including KD air brakes. To correctly model the ARA side sheathing arrangement on the Baltimore & Ohio's M26 class and subclasses, Red Caboose made new molds for the sides. Other differ­ ences between the B&O M26s and Pennsy X29s included the side ladders and the air brake equipment. The B&O cars were built with KC brakes, not the "split K" KD brakes favored by the Pennsy, and when the B&O cars were converted to AB brakes the com­ ponents were located differently than on the PRR's X29s. This model, also trom a facto­ ry-lettered kit, represents an M26A class car circa 1947 with AB brakes and nearly new paint and lettering

he PA 1 A unit and PB 1 B unit diesels are considered to be the most visually appealing diesels made in America. The PA 1 was the American Locomotive Company's (A\Co) answer to the successful ElectroMotive Corporation E series of passenger diesels just as Alco's FA I was their answer to EMD's successful F3 freight diese1. The EMD diesels outsold the Alcos by about three­ to-one. Fortunately for modelers, the manu­ facturers have produced PA l diesels in all the popular scales. Athearn has been pro­ ducing HO scale PA I and PB 1 models for decades. Recently, Life-Like introduced the model with each railroad's body style matched to its paint. The Life-Like bare body shells include both non-dynamic brake units (like the New York Central diesels) and dynamic brake-equipped units (like these Union Pacific diesels and the Delaware and Hudson models and prototypes). The Proto 2000 models are also available with Mars lights (like the D& H, UP and Wabash models and their prototypes) and both original number boards (like the NYC models and proto­ types) and 45-degree number boards to match the specific prototypes. Kato has also shipped completely new N scale PA I diesels with numberboards and headlight locations to match specific prototypes. The Kato N scale models also have dynamic brakes and water-cooled tur­ bochargers as indicated by the rectangu-

Eventually a large, I should say huge, appliance man­ ufacturer will be added to Fairfield. This industry will not only have heavy traffic, but will require every type of rolling stock on the railroad to be spotted there from time to time (except for stock cars, which have long since been retired from the BN).

I I FROM KATO AND GHQ PARTS

By Bill Reid

The smooth-running Kato USRA Mikado provides a ready-to-run chassis fo r the cast-metal GHQ superstructure and tender to dupli­ cate the Pennsy's classic L-l 2-8-2. The resulting model runs even bet­ ter than the original Kato locomo­ tive because it has more weight. There's a full performance test report on the modified locomotive on pages 48-49 of this issue. An index of previous articles on upgrading N scale cars and loco­ motives appears on pages 50-5 1 of this issue.

or many years, the only models of Pennsylvania railroad steam engines in N scale were the Minitrix models of the class 8-6 0-6-0 switcher, and the Minitrix K4 4-6-2 Pacific. Of course being a PRR fan, I had to have several of the K-4s and a B-6. Operationally, however, these engines left a lot to be desired. In all fairness, Minitrix did introduce a sort of 1- 1 2- 10- o decapod using the K-4 shell on a German mechanism. At one point, l had The Kato tender chassis with the GHQ end beam and Micro-Trains couplers, ready to at least four of these beasts in my posses­ mount the GHQ body. sion, but soon removed them from the roster of the Cumberland Valley System because, first and foremost, engines must run re liably for prototype operating ses­ sions to be a success. This being the case, the K-4 and B-6 underwent some major re powering in the almost surgically skilled hands of a good friend, Hans Starmans of the Netherlands. What a di f­ fe rence! Both engines now run like the best diesels available. A few years ago Key Imports saw fit to import brass mod­ el.s of the PRR's H class 2-8-0s. These are beautiful models that with a little fine tuning have served very well in operating sessions. We PRR fans were on a roll as
