    Any On30 folks here

    Apparently Hal Carstens has passed away. According to Chris Lane this will not affect RMC as Hal had not been involved with the magazine for several years. The On30 Annuals should continue on. MT Hopper

It is taking inordinately long as SWMBO has decreed the basement must be renovated and finished wall1before my 8 year old goes to University. I don't know why she thinks I don't...

    Re gauging Grandt

    Thanks Canopus. I have the drawings for a 1914 30 inch gauge Baldwin built for the Azucar Central Santa Lucia originally built to burn soft coal but later converted to oil. To get "close" to this loco I may just have to do some dome and bell swapping and widen the firebox. The loco was later...

    Examining the New Bachmann On30 Outside Frame 4-4-0

    Harold, relative to the front drivers, does the electric motor protrude towards the smoke box or back towards the firebox? The reason I ask is this loco has some potential for the large scale narrow gauger. Cheers MT

    Re gauging Grandt

    Canopus. I have the Bachman Forney, 2-8-0, Shay, 0-4-2, Gas Mech and street car. I haven't had a problem with a single one of them. At the time I got them I had thoughts of turning the 2-8-0 into a 1/35th scale Deutz and the street car into an Orenstein & Koppel loco. I think I'll just finish up...
