Quote from: RkyGriz on February 08, 2016, 03:01:47 PMI do have a Dremel tool with a cutting blade, but I was afraid that it might damage the car itself if I went too far while cutting the windows!There is a wooden boat builder's adage to the effect that the great advantage of power tools is they save lots of time, you can screw up so much bigger so much faster than with old hand tools.
Quote"Good railroad sound effects would be a fascinating auxiliary to any pike. If they are possible at moderate cost, the time may come when a "silent" pike will be as outdated and "flat" as the silent movie today. But if sound is worth having at all, it's worth doing right, and that's going to take suitable recordings and more "know-how" on the subject than we have at present.Interesting, development of the feature was being plotted over six decades back.
Who has more ideas to keep the ball rolling?"
QuoteIn 1885 six locomotives with a 2-6-2 wheel arrangement were built by Baldwin for New Zealand Railways. In October 1898 Baldwin built a 2-6-2 for the McCloud River Railroad. In 1900 Brooks built several of this type Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad. They were planned to be used on the mid-western prairies. However, they did not find favor with the Class I railroads. Only 1500 Prairies were built with many of them destined for short lines.http://steamlocomotive.com/prairie/
