Ph1 Coal Car lookalike on the F&CC.

[Todd A Ferguson]

Mike, 

No rush for my sake, just curious.

I was fortunate to get involved with solid modeling and 3D modeling back in the late 1980s. It is a neat technology. The challenge for most people is doing the modeling. 

Jack Burgess of Yosemite Valley fame is doing some really cool things with 3D printing.

Hopefully resolution will continue to improve and costs keep coming down.

Best,

Todd,

Yes, I can do these stakes in On3. I model them at 1:1 then scale them down, so it's no big thing. Just a matter of finding the time! I'll try to get to it within the next week or two, if not sooner. Life is going to be getting in the way of model railroading off and on for the next several days through the weekend.

I'll let the forum know when they're posted...

Mike

C&S used full size couplers so San Juan are appropriate.

Doug,

Thanks for sharing the info.

Am I correct in assuming the 1902 coal car is what Harry Brunk calls the Phase I car?

I need to dig out my Robb C&S book!!!

Also, wondering what couplers would be best for modeling the C&S in On3?

Kadee, San Juan or something else?

Best,

The SJCC  Evolution is their latest. It operates magnetically like a KD.Read the description on their website for more proto info. They also offer an E type coupler.

Plutocracy makes a brass E coupler that operates like the prototype with either top or bottom pin lifter - you need to be able to reach the couplers to operate.
