Subject: Re: Milwaukee Road - now design me a layout
Hi Kelvin;
That is a tall order, combining that much equipment with switching and
a "back country" branchline.
Your countryman Ian Rice had a plan in Feb. 2001 MR called "Old Kate
in the Weeds" about a C&NW branchline that would seem to fit your
needs. It included the end of the branch with a small engine facility,
stock pen and feed dealers. It could jst as easily be Milw instead of
C&NW.
Or you could try the juction of the branch with the mainline, most of
the equipment would just "pass by" on the main while the branchline
power did the switching. A larger engine terminal could be tied to a
classification yard with the switching being liited to making up and
braeking down trans (and some loads to the terminal itself; parts,
engine sand, oil...).
Or the engine facility could tied to an urban switching branch, look
up the N scale Kingsbury branch for lots of inspiration.

do to build your layout is a field of yellow grass and run rails

running trains west of the Minnesota state line! I walked the branch
line that went through my home town and many of the ties were the
consistency of balsa wood. The rail was so light and worn they were
running at 5 mph toward the end. The rail had been milled in Germany
in the 1880's and never had been updated! no need for 100 tone grain
hoppers there!

Unfortunately the SHS caboose was normally used only on one route in

misses the boat also.

He shared this message about naming a car for his wife with me off-list last

Of course Ed's suggestion would be a lot more expensive for me. I would have

No opinions but there is a list of companies making people to S Scale
(or thereabouts) on the SSMRS website at:
http://www.s-scale.org.uk/figures.htm
Scroll down the page until you find the section labelled "Commercial
Figures". There are twenty companies listed (with pictures)
supplying figures of varying size/quality/era.

"Kelvin A. White" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
> I wonder if there is any interest in Kaslo
> doing a Milw Rd horizontal ribbed bay
> window caboose?
Kelvin (and others).....
Kaslo Shops Distributing has frequently stated they will build most any
model once they receive deposit money for about 50 units. Kaslo has no
particular interest in any specific scale or road name or model. They
are in business to have fun and also to make money. Thus, they have
done a variety of freight cars and passenger cars in N, HO, S, O and G
scales over the years.
But the proprietor of Kaslo does not particularly enjoy the marketing
game and does not usually attend train shows or conventions. Not much
in the way of magazine advertising either. The Kaslo web site and
online ordering is pretty much it. But he communicates promptly and
thoroughly if you send him an email with questions. Like it or not,
Kaslo has plenty of business without any of the conventional marketing
efforts. Various HO special interest groups, historical societies and
small hobby shops will cough up deposit money for 50 units and then have
a unique product to enjoy or sell.
I would think that the S scale community could greatly benefit from
Kaslo's profitable short run production processes. Where else can you
get a good quality custom kit with orders for about 40 or 50 units? Not
in injection molded plastic. Not in brass, generally. Not in white
metal, usually. Not even in cast resin from most other companies. I am
amazed that various S conventions simply settle for another repaint of
existing stuff instead of taking advantage of the Kaslo opportunity to
create something brand new and exciting. NASG itself could easily make
something new through Kaslo. And it could be made AF-compatible as
well. Think 50 units of "something" would sell out in the first month?
How about the annual Lionel/AF car being replaced with something from
Kaslo? Something new, different, exciting, stupendous and not just a
repaint of an old Gilbert body casting. The ideas are endless.... But
then those AF guys would have to build a kit. Whoops.......problem?
Well, maybe not, maybe a snap-together kit could be made.
H-m-m-m-m-m....there is an idea. If it snapped together and was
suitable for both scale and AF, would 50 units of "something" sell? I
think it is a slam dunk and am amazed (yes, I repeat myself) that the S
scale community hasn't provided Kaslo with more projects than what has
transpired thus far.
So, yes, a MILW horizontal ribbed caboose is very feasible. Just dial
up Kaslo and discuss it. Then rustle up some reservations (50?) and get
what you want. Too busy? Kaslo is OK with that because all those HO
guys are not too busy to do what it takes to get what they want. The N
guys are not too busy either. Nor the O guys. The guys who wanted the S
Pennsy caboose were not too busy. Or the S Canadian caboose. Or the S
NYC caboose (currently in production, not yet seen). John Foley got
orders for over a dozen NYC cabooses with about 4 or 5 emails. Or those
who wanted the full scale length Budd cars were not too busy either
(tooling started as we speak). Why I'd wager a roll of film that Bob
Werre would buy a MILW caboose or two and might even volunteer a free
photo of same for advertising purposes. Heck, Bob's known to be a nice
guy, but he's gotta be asked. :>)
So the moral of this fable is that all things are possible and feasible.
While there are tradeoffs of time, cost, lead time, production volumes,
etc., things ARE possible. But ya gotta actively pursue them in order
to get them. Every project needs a spearhead. Any volunteers out there
for this one?
Cheers....Ed L. (endless ideas for others to do)

To the discussion of cars for KASLO or someone to do, I would add:
1. What about the B&O wagontop box car and the wagontop covered hopper? Yes,
they exist in brass, but hold on here. Not everyone has the money for brass
despite the high level of detail and quality workmanship. B&O wagontops really
got around. During the Fifties when I was a teenager, I saw them everywhere
around Minneapolis and St. Paul.
2. What about the Milwaukee Road horizontally ribbed, all-welded box cars?
Yes,
they already exist in brass, but again at what prices.
A good many years have passed since they were available in brass, and it is
time
for a resin or plastic version.

Hi Kelvin;
100 might be difficult for a caboose. In that case, consider reshaping
the AM baywindow car and adding ribs from strip and half round strip
styrene.
The boxcars Tom mentions would be more lilely to reach the 100 car
minimum. Maybe a ribside boxcar shell could be combined with the AM
caboose to make ribsided baywindow.

Opinions are free and plentiful. Actual work will cost ya! Man am I

In some areas of the world, where tall folks live, this height is
typical and average. Perhaps a new locale for your layout? You could
use O scale doors on S scale structures. Think outside the box. :>)
> Which companies make S people that are
between 5'5" and 6' tall ?
Arttista figures are my personal favorites, but lots of other companies
make 'em the size you seek. There are about 14 firms that make S
figures listed in NASG's "S Trains Buyer's Guide" which has just
recently been revised and updated. I assume these same firms are listed
on the NASG web site. Some of these firms appear to be AF oriented and
so the scale proportions of figures might be worth investigating
carefully before placing a large order. Others are the accurate scale
standbys of many years. Maybe buy one figure from each firm and write a
report on your findings. Interesting project for someone (not me).
>Which company has the widest range of S people?
Short of actually counting them, I think Fun&Games and Arttista have a
good selection. But that is just an off-the-cuff opinion as opposed to
a
carefully-considered-and-thoroughly-researched opinion. Then there is
the shoot-from-the-hip opinion, but I won't offer one of those here. My
gun is not loaded at the moment......
Like most things, the better quality stuff costs more. Prices range all
over the map depending on metal vs. plastic and painted vs. unpainted.
Good luck....Ed L.

Well, several years ago I bought at least three - four bags full and they do

I've been working on making-placing helmet's/cap's on them, but its not an

wagontop boxcars or covered hoppers you would be interested in ordering.

If Kaslo would seriously consider the B&O wagontop, I would advise
strongly that they should study the issues surrounding the HO kits that
have been made of this prototype. More than one mfr has tackled this
in HO, and at least one of the resulting kits is reputed to
be "difficult" to build, at least properly. Learn from others'
mistakes!

Subject: B&O Wagontop Boxcar and Hopper Car
If you are interested in purchasing either B&O wagontop boxcars or B&O
wagontop covered hoppers from Kaslo Shops, contact me off-list and let
me know how many you would be interested in. I understand that 100
orders are needed by Kaslo.
With only 2 responses tonight, the totals are up to 7 boxcars and 6
covered hoppers.
Any interest?

I would be interested in a Milwaukee horizontal ribbed caboose.
But,,,,only if it was done in brass. Then again, I'm interested in
almost anything in "S" scale as long as it's done in brass.

Is there a leadership volunteer for either of the projects Tom is
suggesting. Y'know, simply writing "I want" emails will not get a
model produced. Takes a bit more than that. But it is not impossible.
Cheers and good luck...Ed L. (endless ideas for others to do)
