    Resin still scares a lot of modelers. There's also safety concerns with its working. Resin would make sense for producing a 3D design, though. Print the prototype, then cast from there.

    If you want a challenge, you could try the 'Flying Bufferbeam.'

    I wasn't aware there was a distinction. I've only seen 'N20' mentioned in regards to the ones with the gearboxes.
  4. AlfaZagato
    Should be fine. I think some on here have done sizable 7mm with N20s.
  5. AlfaZagato
    How's the weight on that thing so far? I suppose difficult to judge against a normal wagon.
  6. AlfaZagato
    Probably cheaper than either of my sound-fitted models. That little Lkw was $200!
  7. AlfaZagato
    Yeah, an Iron wagon would have been turn of the century AFAIK.
  8. AlfaZagato
    Those are charming beasts. Good to know these flashy little dock shunters have some basis.

    Somehow I missed you were doing a long Mink. Neat wagons. Were they the sort of thing that would have gone behind 'Night Owls' on express freight? Seem rarely photographed.

    If you've done this, shouldn't be much of a work to lock the axle and swap the wheels.

    Second-fiddle to Bistromath for a minute.
  12. AlfaZagato
    I figured.

    My thought had been that, to my knowledge, turbines offer negligible hammer-blow, and that hammer blow had been part of the 'rough and tumble' life of a railway.

    Funny, doesn't look like a Buick to me. (So many layers to that joke) Unrelated, a thought I've had recently that may have already been brokered here. Would have combining a high-pressure boiler, like the Yarrow on 'Hush-Hush,' with a turbine-drive arrangement as on Turbomotive have improved the performance of either?
  15. AlfaZagato
    I fell off this thread early on. Are newer batches of the Hush-Hush decent runners?

    Fruit D's were absolutely 'brown' stock. Though I wouldn't doubt there being an almost-matching Mink that would have been gray.

    Reminds me I need to check the Kadee on my J70 against the gauge. I fitted a short at a show on Saturday. Had no problems, though I had preemptively bent the hose damn near in half.
  18. AlfaZagato
    Unrelated, but I think that is the first time I've seen a Barclay next to anything else I can scale. I didn't realize it was so small.
  19. AlfaZagato
    There's a method from the car modelers. You replace the to-be damaged panels with double layers of foil. Nothing crumples like metal. Have to use foil, though. Photoetch tends to be too rigid and thick at this scale.

    In re internal planking, if the wagon is to be loaded, maybe only scribe the top plank or two?
  21. AlfaZagato
    Didn't these tend to bulge at the base? Looks good so far.
  22. AlfaZagato
    As long as you're clear in your listing, don't worry about it.
  23. AlfaZagato
    I'm perfectly OK if we see an increase, even a doubling in price, if we're getting a match truck. Especially if it's Midland-style.
  24. AlfaZagato
    That is the first I have ever heard against soldering rail joints. I have been universally recommended to do so before.
  25. AlfaZagato
    Or we bring attention to it now when its still an engineering prototype, so as to find possible issues while they're still easier to correct. Also, that's beyond an engineering prototype if I'm reading correctly. Its a deco sample.
