ACF 70-Ton Closed-Side Covered Hopper ACF 70-Ton Closed-Side Covered Hopper in2-Car Sets N THE COMING MONTHS, we're beefing up our N scale rolling stock roster with the addition of six new road names on Iour ACF 70-ton Closed-Side Cover Hopper. If you're hauling any bulk materials or commodities on your railroad, you'll want to add these new cars to your operation. The first production of these models received several strong reviews for our accurate detail, crisp printing and precision craftsmanship. Our ASF Ride ControfTM truck and semi-automatic KATO coupler further enhanced these hopper car models. While praising the molding and overall detail appearance of these cars, however, some reviewers felt Item # Roadname/Car Nos. Expected them to be "too light" despite weighing in at a weight 186-0201 Erie Lackawanna / 21019 & 21035 August comparable to that of rolling stock by other well-known Erie Lackawanna August manufacturers. Throughout our development of these 186-0202 /21028 & 21047 cars, we have sought an optional balance in car weight. 186-0203 Milwaukee Road /99073 & 99208 August We have sought a weight capable of preventing 186-0204 Milwaukee Road /99142 & 99099 August derailments on moderately imperfect track while still allowing hobbyists to operate a "long" train without 186-0205 Nickel Plate Road /91034 & 91085 August sacrificing locomotive performance. 186-0206 Nickel Plate Road /91067 & 91078 August Nevertheless, we reacted to the feedback and 186-0207 Denver & Rio Grande Western / 18335 & 18372 December subsequently conducted further investigations, looking for an acceptable "heavier" model while maintaining 186-0208 Denver & Rio Grande Western / 18364 & 18368 December that critical balance. 186-0209 Seaboard Air Line / 8100 & 8247 December The end result ...we're "bulkin' up" these new cars 186-0210 Southern Pacific / 90602 & 90801 December by adding several additional grams of weight to each, but not so much as to hinder the operational capability of 186-0211 Southern Pacific /90735 & 90798 December the fu ll consist. 186-0212 Southern Pacific /90654 & 90785 December Tlu·ee new roadnames are scheduled to be released to hobby shops worldwide in August, and three other roads are expected to be delivered in December. There are different car reporting numbers for roads with more than one set. The prototype cars where introduced by ACF in the early 1940's, built throughout the 50's and operated well in the 80's. These hopper cars have a place on most layouts, including yours! Whether you're haulin' powdered lime or concrete, granular sugar or sand, these popular steam-to-diesel transition-era covered hoppers can certainly deliver the goods!

COVER- A pair of TTC H5 subway cars were appropriately decorated for the official opening of the Bloor-Danforth Subway extensions, on Friday, Nov. 21, 1980. —TTC photos by Ted Wickson QUOTE OF THE MONTH- (Extracts from an editorial in the Toronto Star of November 5, chosen by the Newsletter particularly to mark the completion of the Kennedy and Kipling extensions): "In the past two years the politicians... have ducked the hard decision about investing in the TTC as a force that could determine the future development of Metro—the fastest, — most convenient form of public transit is the kind that runs on fixed rail such as the subway or LRT—Even in the fitful economy of the '80's, a new transit line can have a stimulating effect. Metro needs more of them. The next obvious one is an east-west line along Eglinton, Sheppard or Finch Avenues—If politicians show a bit of nerve and build fixed rail transit into thinly populated areas, experience has shown these soon become thickly populated areas.

Its western terminus, Shelby, connects to the Marias Pass route DLC from Dovetail Games, thus completing the entire Hi-Line Subdivision from Whitefish to Havre in Train Simulator. History The Hi-Line subdivision is part of BNSF's busy northern transcontinental mainline (Chicago-Seattle). It was originally built in the late 19th century by James J. Hill's Great Northern Railway (GN) and is the northernmost of the transcontinental railroads in the United States. The building of the Great Northern mainline brought a settlement boom to the plains of Montana, many of the small towns and villages along what is today called the Hi-Line subdivision where established during or shortly after the construction of the railroad. Havre and Shelby, the two end points of this route, were important junction points on the Great Northern. At Havre, a secondary mainline, routed through the beautiful upper Missouri canyon, branched off towards Great Falls, MT, an important traffic hub in the GN network. That line no longer exists today, only two short branch lines from Havre to Big Sandy in the north and from Great Falls to Fort Benton in the south remain in (very infrequent) service.

    ® HO-SCALE COUPLER CONVERSION LIST 7-8-21 The Coupler People Most of the below listings have conversion drawing and instructions on our web site at www.kadee.com/hocc.htm Newer models that have factory installed knuckle couplers are easily converted by using our standard head #148 or scale head #158 Whisker® Couplers. Always check the coupler heights with either our #205 or newer #206 Coupler Height Gauge. This coupler conversion list is our suggested starting coupler for the conversion. (Typically requiring the least modification to a model utilizing our newest couplers even though other couplers also work for the model). Our conversion’s based on only one model from a production run, there may be inconsistencies in a model’s production run that require a different coupler or model modifications to achieve the proper coupler height for coupler function.
