The Home Machinist!

Matt,

The rail I have is 0.850" tall. Perhaps it's not Iron Pony?

Rob Gardner

Have you tried the Union Pacific Historical Society?

Rob Gardner

Before I venture further down the road of making my own joint bars, does anyone have any Iron Pony joint bars for their 1" scale rail they no long want or need?

Sincerely,

You can get one or two trucks from Tom Bee Trucks. They have castings in production now.

Pat, do you still need Larry's info? This appears to be from last Friday. I think you probalby have his info by now, lol.

Rob

Oh my goodness. I had noticed his absence on FB, where I usually saw him pop up quite regularly. He had made some suggestion of health issues, but never went in to any detail. I know he had collected a lot of drawings for the C&O L-2 Hudson and probably had a lot of other stuff as well. Hope it ...

To answer LIALLEGHENY's original question, I'm not sure about whatever happened to the drawings that Andy Clerici may have had or made to build his Allegheny with. There are two gentlemen in Australia who have now built a C&O K-4 Kanawha and H-8 Allegheny, both in 1.5" scale. One is Neil Da...
