SEPTEMBER 2000 5 --------- MODELING FROM THE PROTOTYPE] [ --------- By D. Sc ott Chatfield To provide a better viewing platform than just plopping the models on tables, Randy Anderson built two raised displays with built-in ov erhead lighting. This allowed the models to be viewed at a height similar to many layouts, which is how we are used to seeing them. And with several tracks per platform, it allowed more models to be displayed in a smaller area. As it was, enough models showed up that table space was at a premium. Meet co- host Bill Welch showed several of his Fruit Growers Express ice reefers built from Sunshine Model's 1927 FGE Reefer kits. Bill Welch used .004-inch brass strips embossed with rivets to model the diagonal straps. He even buckled the right strap and "popped" a rivet. 6 RAILMODELjOURNAL· SEPTEMBER 2000 Larry Kline brought a trainload of detailed 0 scale freight cars, many from metal kits older than tturpho­ tographer, but his scratchbuilt Gulf Oil 1((-103 tank caught this tank car junkie's eye. RAILMODELjOURNAL . SEPTEMBER 2000 7 RPM .. Stan Rydarowia showed two projects kit-converted from Ca.nnonball Car Shops' Pennsy X-23 box car kit. The prototypes were also kit-con­ verted. PRR 501847 received a round roof to increase its measly inte­ rior height, and NX 6598 was converted into a reefer. 8 RAILMODELjOURNAL· SEPTEMBER 2000 Layout Design SiC coordinator Doug Curin showed proof that he can build models with his scratch­ built O-scale Milwaukee Road coaling station. Doug used Strathmore board (a thick paper made for artists) and followed Paul Larson's article in the June 1955 Model Railroader. The prototype was in Broadhead, Wisconsin, where they obviously didn't fuel too many engines. At his current model-build­ ing pace, Doug will finish his HO-scale wartime Pennsy layout in 2964. (The photographer now feels much better about his own slow pace. His layout should be done by 205L ..) Mike Pulaski showed several modern diesels, including Guilford 684 built from a Kato SD45 with a Cannon high hood, and CP 5690 built from an Athearn SD40-2 with its nose stretched to 102 Inches and Cannon's Dash-2 cab and 40-Series radia­ tor grilles. co-M�t Randy Anderso.1'l showed .the in· pr()gre.5s B&O M-15 box cat he's building from a Weste/'field kit. RjUldy has modified the ends and added North West Shortliile Proto:87 wheelsets and a Sergent WOrking knuckle coupler to the B-ehd. The A-end has a K. adee HOtl3 coupler, which has been Randy's standard. Randy is a pioneer in the Proto:87 movement, and one of his motivations for hosting the PMS-East meet was to show that Proto:87 is doable. RAILMODELjOURNAL .

    volume one, number two a supplement to walthers ho, n&z and big trains reference books CLASSICS Model Power Acquires Mantua Model Power is pleased to announce its acquisition of Mantua Industries. A respected manufacturer of locomotives and rolling stock for model railroaders since 1926, Mantua is headquartered in Woodbury, New Jersey. Together these manufacturers have a total of over 110 years of experience and service to the model railroad industry. Model Power has purchased all HO tooling, molds, parts and dies from Mantua Industries and retains rights to the name “Mantua.” Model Power will also be forming a new division called Mantua Classics whose initial production plans for 2003 include the following locomotives: Pacific, Berkshire, 2-6-6-2, 2-6-6-0, Camelback and 0-6-0 Tank. The overall goal will be to produce quality products, fine-tune performance, enhance detail and dramatically cut the prices of steam locomotives. For modelers concerned about what this acquisition means in terms of products and customer service, here are steps now being taken by Model Power: 1. Most parts are or will be in stock 2. Metal boiler locomotives will be made with extra details not previously included 3. Steam locomotives will be DCC compatible with an 8-prong receiver 4. Tenders will be made with electrical pickup 5. Drive trains for F7s will be flywheel driven and carry the high-tech F7 metal body used in Model Power’s MetalTrain™ Model Power is proud to offer its customers more—more details, more quality and performance, more choices— with Mantua Classics.
