  1. I decided to start this project because I just like the looks of the T1 and obviously, I like a challenge. This will surely be a challenge. I will have to make new side rods, cab, and shell. I bought an O gauge shell for reference. I have some plans downloaded from the web. I will have to make some of my own drawings to adapt and rearrange major parts. The shell will involve a bit of art work to capture the T1 look. What I have going for me is that the Hudson's wheels and arrangement are almost the same as the T1. I will remove the rear axle of the Hudson and attach another Hudson frame to the front for the other two drivers. I was surprised to learn that there is only one axle driven and the other two axles of the Hudson is actually driven by the side rods.. That can't be good for traction as they would be constantly accelerating and de-accelerating causing drag. The Hudsons drive wheels are .150 in diameter less of the scale 2.5 wheel that would make it a scale 80 inch driver, but close enough. I had to relocate the cylinders closer to the wheels. I just moved the mount on the frame closer, so it attaches just as the original just in a new place. The rod slide on the T1 has a single guide on the top, so I cut the bottom one off of the Hudson's. With some grinding, close enough. The valve is really simple on the T1, one arm and that is it. This project will be figured out as I go. Bob.
  2. I am sorry, I lied. I am starting a new build. I am stretching a Great Trains Superliner car and other cars to make a complete consist for my P42s. Here is the start, stretching the upper windows. Bob.
  3. Scratchbuilt 1:32 scale superliner cars and 1:32 P42 Genesis locomotive.
  4. Jerry, I found the pictures of the dining table setting pictures you did for the Accucraft diner. Here is what you said. " Bob, we have some UP dinnerware and I set up a table all arranged and took some pictures of it. Picked the best and sized it to fit the tables.(insert in the lower corner of the above pix). Made a page of them. Printed it off, sprayed it with a clear UV spray and cut them out. Leaving a long edge to hang over and give an illusion of a table cloth hanging over the edge. I used double sided tape on the table, then stuck the printed table top to it. I cut some clean tube for glasses and glued them on yesterday and made some kitchen pots and pans from plastic tubing I sprayed silver. Kitchen figures are too tall, may shorten them some. I had re-painted the shell with Trucolor UP yellow, but it still does not match MTH's version. Maybe I used another brand before. Guess I'll live with it, got new lettering on now. I can email you some of the table top pix if you want to use them". And yes, please send me the pictures of the dining table setting, as I will use it in my Superliner dining car. As you recall, you fooled me, as I thought that the table setting were actual plates and silverware, but you fooled me, sure looks good. Here is my email: rbrown77138@verizon.net. Thanks, Bob.

  6. If there is anyone that has any Great Trains Superliner cars for sale, please let me know, I would like to purchase. Bob.
  7. Photos of the MTH Big Boy in 1:32 scale. These are probably my most favorite engines to run in my collection.

  8. I recently won on Trainz two superliner cars, a lounge and a coach which I will use for future creations. These are the 24 inch models and not the 85 foot scale ones. In the future, they will be 85 foot scale cars. They have full interiors, but no bathrooms, I don't know where i am going to go. So, here are some pictures. Bob.
  9. I received the Lionel O gauge shell for a template for modeling a 1:32 T1. I was surprised because I expected a plastic shell, but it is metal and quite heavy. If I can copy in 1:32, I will be happy. I also bought a Mainline Modeler magazine, April 1982 with plans and some good closeup detail shots, so, some time in the future, I will start on this project. Right now, I am working on the outside layout, have to get this done. I have decided to abandon the 54" wide concrete base and opted for one that is only 20 inches wide so that it will look more natural and quite a bit easier for me to pour. I am making a form to make small sections, 20 x 32 and will be able to pour one a day with Sakrete and reduce my cost. I decided to take little bites at a time. Bob.
  10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CGwKRaxF7k Here I attempt to show how my cloth diaphragms are made in 1:32 scale.
