The train is passing the now-closed Devore depot on its climb up Cajon Pass. The last four cars in the train are some of the UP’s latest TOFC cars that have begun hauling freight across the nation in truck trailers. It is but a glimpse of things to come. Turn to page 24 to see how Ted economically modeled these cars. Photo by Ted York. INSET: Starting on page 34, Michael Paltzer shows how he modeled a prototypical grain drying operation.

I found out many years later that my grandfather Brueggeman did work for the NKP! We saw many diesels and some steam on the Central, but, my favorite memories have been of the few NKP trains we saw on those weekend days. Seems most NKP trains ran early morning or evening around Mentor when a little boy is home.

The GP35 was EMD’s sec- ond offering in what now is considered the second generation of diesel power. Over 1300 units were produced in a little over two years. Lessons learned from past Bproduction and advancing technology provided for a quantum leap forward in performance and operation. In addition, EMD with the production of the GP35 began the use of standard modular construction in the design of locomotive bodies. This standard locomotive of the 1960’s can still be seen in operation nearly four decades after it was first introduced. Athearn’s Ready-To-Run GP35 represents a phase 1a version that was produced from October 1963 to February 1964. This was arguably the most widely used variant of the GP35. Some of the spotting features of this phase captured on the model are: • Thick side sill • Triple louver sets on the battery box covers • Open top 36" radiator center fans • Flat bottom cab number board housing • Flat inertial air filter hatch • Low profile fuel tank • Multiple latches on the engine compartment doors This attention to detail and the unsurpassed value built into every Ready-To-Run™ locomotive, as well as all the additional incorporated features, makes them the first choice with model railroad operators.

  • A Spotter's Guide to Nickel Plate Road Mikados
    A SPOTTER’S GUIDE TO NICKEL PLATE ROAD MIKADOS By Ray Breyer Presented as a quick reference for modeling purposes (mainly), here’s a quick rundown of all the major NKP Mikado classes and what they looked like throughout their service careers. This is only a very basic, down & dirty guide to help modelers figure out which basic class of engine they want to model, and as a basic “quick reference” for casual fans of the NKP to identify 2-8-2 engine classes. As with all things steam, each engine quickly took on a personality and look of its own, so for modeling an individual engine, please refer to several photos of the same engine, or at least the same class of engine from the same time period. I’ll quickly note any models out there (if any) for each engine class as I know of them. I’m a little light in the area of brass knowledge, so there WILL be a few holes! I’ll organize the chapters by engine class. First up is the H-5a and H-5b class of Mikados, which predated the USRA and USRA “clone” Mikes that were more commonly known on the railroad. H-5a 500-509, 1917 The first Mikados owned by the Nickel Plate, these engines were a standard New York Central RR design, of which 676 were ultimately built for, or sold to, seventeen different railroads. Smaller than USRA light Mikes, they have a very “old” appearance. They were the largest, most powerful engines on the roster for just under a year, until the first batch of USRA 2-8-2s were delivered to the NKP in late 1918.
