RE: Weekly Photo Fun 2/11 - 2/17/22 - tompm - 02-12-2022 Deano - With the turbine what was the tender used for? Here is one I found that I don't think I posted before. Lehigh & Hudson River C420 passing Penn Central RS11 at the Water Tower. Both locos by Atlas. RE: Weekly Photo Fun 2/11 - 2/17/22 - UP SD40-2 - 02-13-2022 Tom, the tender was used for the Bunker C fuel oil, used to run it, at the time it was really cheap so it was great for keeping the cost to run those down. Thanks for asking! RE: Weekly Photo Fun 2/11 - 2/17/22 - doctorwayne - 02-13-2022 Just finished a couple of boxcar kits... This one is from Yankee Clipper, and is a model of the CPR's "Minibox" boxcar... ...I built it mostly to the kit's instructions, but added some extra weight, so it's about 5.3oz. This one is from Red Caboose, basically a Pennsy X-29 slightly modified into a B&O M-26B... ...another offering from Red Caboose, built as per the instructions, as an X-29... This kit was the same, but I modified the car with some extra hardware to create an X-29 Railway Express Agency car... This last one is an old Train Miniature version of the X-29, but modified to look similar to some doublesheathed New York Central boxcars, built in 1916, that were later rebuilt in the mid-'30s as steel cars (quite similar to the Pennsy's X-29s), and the Central transferred 300 of them to their Canada Southern subsidiary... I hope to get back to my baggage car build, now that these are out of the way. Wayne RE: Weekly Photo Fun 2/11 - 2/17/22 - UP SD40-2 - 02-13-2022 WOW! ,OUTSTANDING JOB, Wayne , the weathering is absolutely SUPERB, too RE: Weekly Photo Fun 2/11 - 2/17/22 - bdw9535 - 02-13-2022 Another nice week, great modeling and photography by all. Bruce RE: Weekly Photo Fun 2/11 - 2/17/22 - Charlie B - 02-13-2022 I totally agree Bruce. Those box cars from Wayne are just the icing on the cake. I wonder what bunker C oil goes for on todays market. Is that what the 4014 uses?

I am sorry Charlie, I cant answer either of those questions . I do know the Veranda turbines were successful, thus, they made and ordered another series of Gas Turbines, commonly called the "Big Blow's" . (one of the MANY pics I have taken of the Gas Turbine at the IRM) What killed UP's Gas Turbines in the end was a couple things, they were very loud, so they were limited on how far into towns they could travel into, and of coarse, the cost of Bunker C fuel went through the roof in the early 70's so that pretty much put an end to UP's Gas Turbines . |
