Fred, I believe that the articles are still subject to copyright protections, so unless George Broad or his successor in interest for Modeltec Magazine allows posting, you'll need to look the articles up in a library.

Some More Smokebox Design References

When i constructed my Raritan a dozen years ago i found Bill Morewood's front end design curious, so did some research. These articles were found to be interesting: " Lots of good information resulted when A Smokebox Went to College " by Dennis Larrick, Modeltec, December 1994, p. 29. &quo...

Matt, I have two 3.5-in gauge riding cars that i plan to bring to the meet. But before i do, i want to know if that's OK. With the multiple gauge Hi-Line, does GGLS have a policy regarding use of riding cars, such as ... a) 4.75-in gauge mandatory or advised or is 3.5-in. gauge OK? b) If 3.5-in gaug...
