No Two Alike: Books on the North Shore

http://no-two-alike.blogspot.com/p/books-on-north-shore.html

Railway and Railroad Modelling, Electric Traction and Freight Cars. Books on the North Shore. Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee in Color Volume 1, by Geoffrey H. Doughty, published by Morning Sun Books Inc. At its heart this is a photographic album of cool pictures of the North Shore, and it repeats a lot of information in the text, in the captions, which for me feels like a waste of space, as the author could have used it to tell me other stuff that I don't know. This book is a labour of love. I fou...

No Two Alike: December 2012

http://no-two-alike.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Railway and Railroad Modelling, Electric Traction and Freight Cars. Friday, 28 December 2012. Farewell to the Old, Welcome New and Shiny. Not been posting much here of late. Lots of good reasons for that state of affairs, but now I have something I want to show you, which you can see above. This is a prototype axle hung motor for H0 and 4mm scale models of trams, trolley cars, EMUs etc. project that I have been driving. So, let me finish this blog post by wishing you all a Happy New Year. Modeling Insull...

No Two Alike: Progress Update

http://no-two-alike.blogspot.com/2013/04/progress-update.html

Railway and Railroad Modelling, Electric Traction and Freight Cars. Saturday, 27 April 2013. The good news is that there has been some, the bad news is that the outcome doesn't meet all the requirements for a commercial drive. We went and looked elsewhere and a different prototype designed for P4 is in the process of being brought to market using printed gears. The bad news is that they will be sold with the proviso that the gears are not designed for sustained running, which is not what I wanted. A plet...

No Two Alike: March 2013

http://no-two-alike.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Railway and Railroad Modelling, Electric Traction and Freight Cars. Wednesday, 27 March 2013. I've just had an update from the supplier of the gears for the axle hung motors and we've hit that problem that comes from only wanting a low production run, rather than thousand of gears, which would be a doddle. For definitions of doddle that mean having enough capital to invest in an injection moulding tool being made. Posted by A R Pollard. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Modeling Insull's Empire in O Scale: Joe Fisher Traction Models

http://modelinginsullsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/joe-fisher-traction-models.html

Modeling Insull's Empire in O Scale. To paraphrase Vane Jones, "Knowledge is of little value until shared with others.". Saturday, December 10, 2011. Joe Fisher Traction Models. Joe Fisher scratch built many O scale passenger car models over the years. His work included standard passenger and traction (trolley) cars. The hallmarks of a Fisher model were the use of "Lionel" size light bulbs for the interior lighting and home-made bolts to hold the roofs in place on the model. Compiled by Ed Halstead.

The Dunsel Line: July 2014

http://dunselline.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 31, 2014. The recent purchase of the St. Petersburg 2000-series cars has left me a little low on funds for the month and, as such, I have refrained from spending money on any of my projects. (More delays.). I have, however, been pushing forward with work on the 3200-series cars. (The best part is that it doesn't cost a dime.) Taking a page from CTA O Scale L Layout. I've been doing some 3D modeling with the intent of having them 3D printed by Shapeways. Cars at the Illinois Railway Museum.

No Two Alike: Happy Thanksgiving

http://no-two-alike.blogspot.com/2013/12/happy-thanksgiving.html

Railway and Railroad Modelling, Electric Traction and Freight Cars. Sunday, 1 December 2013. A belated happy Thanksgiving to anyone who is reading this. I've been far too busy doing other stuff this year to pay much attention to this blog, but I would like to give a big shout out to Ohkwari Sales. Who doggedly worked to get my Atlas Burlington boxcar to me despite Atlas's taking a lot longer to get this model to market. Posted by A R Pollard. 3 December 2013 at 01:11.
