rbrown7713 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I am starting out slow with my stuff and the first thing is the Garich E-8 molds. I have all of the part molds and also a mold to make the B unit. Here is a picture of the molds and I have many extra small parts. Taking offers. Bob.

rbrown7713 Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Well my trains are just sitting there and I don't care to run them, so it's time to sell before they deteriorate to the point of needing repair. I have lost interest. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBrown, do you by chance have any Lackawanna Booton passenger car (s) for sale or would you know who may custom make such cars? In advance, thank you.

enginear joe Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Oh boy. I stopped buying trains for some time now. I have to keep an eye open for your great work! I'd love to get some of it for momentos at the least. Those E8s alone, are a work of art! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 If you are talking about the Garich Light Transport molds and shells, yes, in it's day, they were the talk of the town. One could revive those and make some money. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 Jeff, I found some pictures of a Boonton passenger car and they look like they are heavyweights. I have molds for some heavyweights, trucks etc. but they are 85 ft. and have 3 axle trucks. I have two J&M cars and 3 Kern valley Railway cars all 85 ft. and 3 axle trucks.

Fonzie Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Nice stuff you're offering but I guess that you're not really interested in selling as the first topic listed in the for sale forum states "Read First before posting here"...http://www.gscaletrainforum.com/index.php?/topic/1424-read-first-before-posting/ Since this isn't a auction site it states... Conditions for posting items for sale: Price for each item is REQUIRED in the body of post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry B44 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I wonder, with the train market the way it is if the Garich molds would be taken up by someone to cast and sell shells. Seems fewer folks are in the hobby and few know of Garich. those were quite the thing, in their day. Some guy bought the Great Trains molds, but have not heard of him casting any to sell.

rbrown7713 Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 Yes, it would take someone who is really into E8s, it would b e a nice project for someone, Bob. If someone were to start from scratch and have the molds made it would cost 15 to 20 thousand, I am only asking 6,000. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juice Jacks Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 The molds for the E8's, what scale are they 1/32? What drive parts do you use. Could or would these be able to be shipped by freight carrier? Do you have photos of the passenger cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 Yes, they are 1:32. Garich Light Transport produced these in the early 90's. Very good likeness to the prototype. There is more info. on this website, just search Garich Light Transport. I have made molds for the rest of the loco. I have poured 3 shells from the mold and it works beautifully. The power was from NWSL, 3 axle trucks which they are not presently making. I suppose that if a quantity of these were ordered, they might make them, I don't know. Another source of the trucks could be the MTH dash 8. The wise way would be to buy a used one, then you would have the electronics and the trucks. There might have to be a slight adjustment to the length of the side rails to fit the motor block. I have molds for the NWSl motor block case, but the gears, motor and shafts would have to be manufactured. There are original metal parts also that would be sent. I also have a few NWSl motor blocks and they would be sent also. There are grills already made from Plano etching and if more would be needed, I have instructed them to make them with my tooling and sell them to anyone. A mold of one end of the A unit is also included so as to make a B unit. The molds are to my knowledge to be complete and if there is anything missing, it would not be much and that would be up to you to make those parts. I provided a complete kit to someone and to my knowledge there is nothing missing. The price is 6,000.00 and the cost of shipping would be what ever it is. I would suggest you come to Fl. and pick it up, then there would be no dispute as to what you are recieving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 Here is a picture of the motor blocks that come with the collection. One block is apart and only for parts. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 This post is for Fonzie. Thanks for the heads up on my not following the rules about the price, and I apologize for the misstep, but, actually I have sold some items that were represented by my posts in "For Sale", so all wasn't lost.
