After a long absence and moving part of the shop I am now getting back to making more patterns.
I have been developing an electric and new and improved 6 wheeled Pullman trucks. These patterns pictured are for the journal boxes and pedestals.
The Pullman trucks will feature a full set of brake rigging that’s to say 2 shoes per wheel.

Re: GETTING BACK TO PATTERN MAKING
Hey Dave!! Give us a hint!!! Will you be remaking the venerable Mercer Steeple Cab of old?
Great little engines!! Big enough to be fun yet small enough to haul everywhere.
I still have mine (1607) and I'm sure Long island Dennis (now Central New York Dennis I suppose) still has his! Mine is still circa 1983, but PRT1607 is getting R/C this winter!

Re: GETTING BACK TO PATTERN MAKING
That's great!
Any recollection on how many you put together back in the day? I seem to remember there being around 15-16 of these running around.
It would be interesting to see where they all wound up.

Re: GETTING BACK TO PATTERN MAKING
Hi Dave: Will the journals and pedestals be available separately ?

Re: GETTING BACK TO PATTERN MAKING
No not from me I am making a similar pattern for Iron Horse supply with the agreement that I will not sell them separately. They are to be used for my electric and 6 and 4 wheel passenger trucks.
