A sunny day on my friends Traction L/O

[interurban]

Hi folks, I did mention my Mentor had moved to Brighton
Well he has a nice big hobby room and has his L/O up and running.

Here are a few shots Dave sent me tonight, the first unit you see has just come of the Scratch and bash assembly line now located in Brighton

I do have the frame/motor & trucks of an older Athearn switcher.
Maybe I can do something similar. I never scratchbuilt a locomotive before

Hi CN 1 I just checked your web site pic of that Great "Montreal" Electric, is it Z -1 A, Z -4A, Z-5A??

That is a fantastc electric line to model, is that what you are doing??
You should be able to scratch build them easily :thumb:

Here she is the same unit

I don’t know what it is called

That's exactly what I have in mind. I want to add it to the existing layout. I'm building the catenaries to look like the one use there. It's not going to be a long run, but it will do some [passenger] cars switching and tunnel operations.

Yikes! That's what I'm afraid off. I have no idea how to get started. I don't know what kind of pantograph to get either! It's going to be quite an adventure. I'm searching the 'net for more pictures of it (the more the better)

Overhead-traction-juice thingy is very addictive

I will post all the pics and info I have.
In this section under Montreal Electrics for C N 1 :thumb:

Then maybe some ideas you may use.

PS where are you located ?

That's a great looking layout Dave has there and using natural sunlight for the photos sure makes a difference.

The model above actually looks like a pair of Roundhouse diesel-boxcab bodies stuck together on top of what might be an Athearn SW7 chassis. Whether it is or not, it looks like fun!

Looks good though and they do run better then most traction motors out there in H O.
