Jim:
At first I thought you were mistaken about Division Point having
roller bearing trucks on their S Scale cabooses, as the one I have has
conventional bearing trucks. I "inherited" the patterns for that
project and pulled them out and you are correct. Division Point had
two different trucks - one conventional bearing and one roller bearing.
Speaking of cabooses, Mullet River www.mullettrivermodelworks.com
delivered to us this week the S Scale version of their O Scale Soo
Line wood caboose body kit. This is identical to the O Scale version
in every way except the underframe. The O Scale version has a molded
urethane undeframe parts while the S Scale version has all new
photoetched brass parts. He will be putting photoetched brass parts
in future O Scale kits as well. The Novemeber 2005 issue of Mainlie
Modeler has a real good article on the O Scale kit by Ray Grosser and
will show what these kits are all about. These are a Des Plaines
Hobbies exclusive and the run is limited to 50 units.
