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. -
Baldwin Locomotive Works Location: Philadelphia (Eddystone, PA, in 1912) Operating Dates: 1831-1956 Principals: Matthias W
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. -

Why Did Japan Choose the 3'6" Narrow Gauge? Akira Saito
Feature Origin of 3'6" Gauge Why Did Japan Choose the 3'6" Narrow Gauge? Akira Saito ‘The reason why narrow gauge (1067 mm) locomotives were made stronger by Crimean War, becoming the first was adopted for early Japanese railways making them bigger, explaining why the managing engineer of Norway’s Railway is unclear.’ This is the first sentence of 7' broad gauge once offered advantages Construction Bureau. Chapter 6 in A History of Japanese over Robert Stephenson & Company’s 4'8" Norway only became fully independent Railways, 1872–1999 written by four standard gauge. Until the mid-1850s, a from Sweden at the beginning of the 20th well-known specialists in Japanese railway builder could only choose century and was nominally under railways and published in English by between standard gauge and broad gauge, Sweden’s control when Stephenson and EJRCF. (Some Japanese readers might explaining why standard gauge was called Pihl brought the first rail technology to hope for a Japanese version too.) narrow gauge in those days! the country. Clearly, the cheaper narrow I was invited to the publishing party on Gradually, standard gauge spread gauge would have offered advantages to the book’s completion and while glancing throughout Britain and into other parts the builders partly because of Norway’s through my copy I came across the above of Europe but when the builders began difficult topography with many sentence. Surely, I thought, more can be to look towards exports to less-developed mountains, lakes and fjords and partly said on the subject than just that. -

EDITOR: Andrew Neale, 7 Vinery Road, Leeds LS4 2LB, Yorkshire. LAYOUT & ASSISTANT EDITOR: Ron Redman. EDITORIAL Judging from the large numbers of letters from members, issue number 70 seems to have been well received, and I am most grateful to all those of you who took the trouble to write, particularly those who either sent or offered articles and photographs. We are gradually building up a stock of articles, but as mentioned before, the provision of suitable illustrations for these articles is still something of a problem and I will be most pleased to hear from anyone who can offer any good, sharp, black and white pictures of any aspect of the narrow gauge. It is a great pleasure to be able to include in this issue an article from one of our Australian members while two other illustrations in this issue have come from contributors in America and East Germany. I very much hope this will be the start of a trend and I will be receiving many more contributions from those of you living overseas who have access to much material denied to us in Britain. · From the next issue I hope to use this page to comment on various aspects of the narrow gauge scene (but NOT internal Society affairs) and will always be pleased to receive your views for possible inclusion in our correspondence pages.

One can only speculate that, due to the blind nature of the "forward" view, that the locomotive must have been much easier to operate while operating as a "cab-forward" steam locomotive. The locomotive also has the "ZOOMSI" logo on the side of it, identifying it as the locomotive that Georgia Pacific donated to the "ZOOMS!" auction that helped raise money for the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry and the Washington Park Zoo. The locomotive was- apparently sold at the auction as scrap metal, but was purchased for display in Cottage Grove. A collection of steam locomotives remained there until "The Goose" steam tourist operation ceased. Salem Public Library, Ben Maxwell Collection.
