MLS Masterclass - 2002
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. -

The Masterclass Concept – a Cooperative Project
MLS MasterClass - 2002 Build a 2-6-6T / 0-6-6T Mason Bogie An Adventure in 1:20.3 By David Fletcher Chapter 1 - Getting Started Background Join the gang and build your own South Park 2-6-6T Mason Bogie Or North Pacific Coast 0-6-6T Mason Bogie We’re back and its time to step things up…1:20.3! Over the coming months, we’ll be publishing a series of articles outlining the construction of a South Park 2-6-6T and North Pacific Coast 0-6-6T locomotive step by step. You, the readers and frequenters of this site, are going to build your own loco right alongside me…. You are going to enjoy it, whether you like it or not!! Copyright 2002 - myLargescale.com/Model Railroads Online, LLC Page 1 Before any of you say, "I enjoy making models, but could never build my own loco," let me say this: 1. If you can cut a Vegemite toast in half, chances are, with a little bit of the right kind of model research, you can build your own loco too. 2. If you enjoy making trackside structures, bridges and scenery work, you’ll definitely be able to build your own loco. And... 3. If you have the desire to, then there ain’t nothing stopping you. As each article is published, you, the viewers of this fine site, will be progressing your own models ever closer to completion. While you follow along the commentary about the construction of this locomotive, you will be able to interactively discuss your questions, progress and suggestions with myself and the other model makers undertaking this project in tandem, by means of the myLargescale.com ‘MasterClass Forum'. -

Xerox University Microfilms 7 6 1 9 6 3 0 LOZICR
INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original subm itted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the ph irapher suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and inus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until com plete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. -
The Antebellum Railroads Petersburg, Virginia
The Antebellum Railroads of Petersburg, Virginia by Marvin Broyhill Working Draft 215 August 27, 2011 I have long known that Petersburg was a railroad pioneer, but there was almost nothing known of its rich railroad heritage. Wyatt and Scott in their classic Petersburg Story devote only six pages to the subject. Pollack’s 1878 Industrial History of Petersburg covers it in only two pages. Both simply name the railroads, cite the dates they were chartered, their routes and their fates. No details are provided. No books or reports have ever been written on the subject. This work is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of Petersburg’s antebellum railroads. In compiling it, I accumulated a great deal of previously unknown information, much of it from obscure but reliable sources. I have also identified other resources that may provide even more information, but it will take time and effort to obtain it. This is a “working draft.” Its purpose is to consolidate text and images so far obtained into a cohesive presentation to provide a springboard for further research. It utilizes images gleaned from many different sources. The color images of the various Petersburg locomotives are original art, commissioned by me. Many other images will be replaced by original art that has yet to be done. There may be other useful photographs that have yet to be discovered. New information also will be incorporated. Once the content is finalized, the final book will be designed by a graphics professional.
