Hands-On Clinic: Railroad Car Repair & ReconditioningBy Rudy Slovacek

8 PM Friday, January 16, 2015, Cambridge School of Weston

Now that winter is upon us and the yard work season has ended, you canfocus on your model railroad. Regardless of what scale you model,equipment should always be checked and maintained to make sure it

conforms to standards for trouble-free operation. Fix that dragging coupler pin;re-gauge those boxcar wheels; replace stirrups, running boards or ladders, add cutlevers and air hoses; whatever needs fixing and cleaning should be done. Bringalong your equipment, your toolkit and your standards gauge. The maintenancecrew will review the check-up procedures and provide tips for keeping yourequipment in tip-top shape. There will be multiple work stations so you can focuson what needs the most help.

Hands-On Clinic: Detailing and Weathering Brick StructuresBy Raymond Barry

8 PM Friday, November 21, 2014, Cambridge School of Weston

While today's styrene brick building kits are very detailed, they do not lookvery realistic in their molded colors. Come join us to learn how you canreadily transform an unpainted styrene brick structure into a very

realistic looking building with a few simple and inexpensive steps. You will learntips and tricks for painting and weathering brick and techniques for detailing theroof. You are welcome to bring a brick structure to this clinic to detail and weather.There will also be a limited quantity of brick wall sections for attendees to practiceon and bring home. Please bring a selection of small paint brushes, a rag, sandpaper, a hobby knife, a metal straightedge and a cutting pad or small piece ofplywood along with any weathering supplies that you may have.

Presentation: OperationsBy Stan Ames, Keith Shoneman and John Lutz

8 PM Friday, February 20, 2015, Cambridge School of Weston

We are trying something new with this Railfun. Attendees will learn aboutOperations in general, and specific to Stan’s and Keith’s layouts.Attendees will then have the chance to practice what they learned at this

presentation by attending an operating session on either Keith’s layout or Stan’slayout. John Lutz will be coordinating the Op-sessions at both layouts. The datesfor these two Op-sessions are still being finalized.

South Shore LumberCompany

by Michael Tylick, MMR

Many years ago I picked up theModel Railroader Magazine forMay, 1960. It featured a

"Lineside Lumber and Supply Yard" byAaron G. Fryer. Based on a prototype inSellersville, Pennsylvania, the yard wasbuilt from a converted coal barn, with anattached office and several outlying sheds.A far cry from the then available Atlas andAyres lumber yards, I was intrigued by hismodel and, for years, had wanted to buildone. After several false starts, I managedto allot some space on my currentMarshfield and Old Colony Railroad for alumber yard that is similar, at least inspirit.

I was also intrigued by the illustrations inLynn Wescott's book 101 Track Plans.His delightful renderings showedforeground structures too large for thelayout, and so were sawed off to reveal adetailed interior implying a much largerstructure. Like a cropped photograph, ourmodel railroads can only imply a completeworld. Cropping the front edge of thestructures allowed me to satisfy my longstanding urge to build this model and alsofit it on a very small layout.

The feel of autumn is in the air andthe blistering cold of winter isaround the corner. Get a fire

going in the fireplace, grab a tray table,place it near the fireplace and do somemodeling.

By the time you read this, the NERConvention, "New England Diamonds2014," in Palmer, MA, hosted by theNutmeg and HUB Divisions, will havecome and gone. Though it was an"unconventional convention," we stillhad an exceptionally good turnout thatexceeded our goals. The weather wasgreat for the Friday excursions,Keystone Arch Bridges Trail, thePioneer Valley Railroad, theMassachusetts Central Railroad andlayout operations and visits. Specialrecognition goes to Pioneer Valley forpainting one of their locomotives ourcolors.

Our host for convention central, "TheSteaming Tender Restaurant," surpassedour expectations with their generosity.I give my thanks to all at the restaurantfor a fantastic job and great time.

Now for the one who started this, DickTowle, Chairman for the convention,my hat is off to you. You have done itagain. Well done! I do not know howhe does it with the weather, but again itwas beautiful. I also want to thank thecommittee heads; without their unselfishvolunteering this convention would notbe a success: Pete Watson, Bill Barry,Pete Higgins, Dan Fretz, BillGoldthwait, John Lutz, RosemaryMezzocchi, Patty Slovacek, BarbaraHoblit, Tim Garner and those in theNutmeg Division.

Moving on, we had our first modulargroup display at the Pepperell SidingTrain show, and what a great day it was!Check out "Calendar of Events" on thewebsite for times and dates on upcomingshows and displays. Coming up is ourown "New England Model Train Expo"December 6-7, 2014, at the BestWestern Royal Plaza Trade Center,Marlborough, MA. We need the supportfrom our members. Contact DickJohannes, show chair, for details andvolunteering. Remember this is our"Show" and fundraiser, so please help.

We had our first two installments ofRailfun: "Members Potpourri Night"and "Adding Prototypical Signaling toHO Modules," presented by DickJohannes. Ray Barry, RailfunCoordinator, has great topics coming up.Please check the "Calendar of Events"in this issue and on our websitewww.hubdiv.org for the particulars.Also, if you have an idea or canrecommend a topic / lecture, pleasecontact Ray at [email protected].

As you know, the NMRA has selectedthe month of November as "ModelRailroad Month." This offers us theperfect chance to show off ourhandiwork and, at the same time,introduce others to the hobby that givesus so much pleasure. Do it as anindividual. Take a few hours a day, or awhole weekend, and invite your friends(all of them, not just your modelrailroading friends), neighbors or thewhole community to visit your layout.You will be surprised at how many ofyour co-workers and neighbors downthe street are anxious to see what youhave been working on. Your layout hasgiven you a great deal of pleasure, sothis is a great opportunity to share thatpleasure with others. So, go spread theword about what a great hobby we havefor all. Introduce these new trainenthusiasts to our membershipchairperson, Pete Higgins for thespecial NMRA deal.

Our Holiday party will be Saturday,January 10, 2015 at Olde Colonial Café,Norwood, MA. From the success of lastyear, we are having it again at thislocation. See Page 7 for reservationdetails and menu. Remember ourtraditional "Yankee Swap" after dinner.

As I mentioned in the past, you can seethat our calendar of events is especiallybusy. Our annual Spring TRAINingShow 2015 is "ON". It will be Sunday,April 12, 2015, at the Holiday Inn inTaunton, MA. This show will be sort ofnew to us, because it will be the firsttime we’ll have it on a Sunday instead ofour traditional Saturday. We will haveour annual business and electionmeeting after the clinics and show,details to follow.

As you see there are a lot of activitieshappening within our Division, and Ihave not mentioned all of the events. Socome and join us, remember Novemberis "Model Railroad Month," and havea wonderful holiday seasons and NewYear!

Keep them rolling!

Dick Johannes discusses adding prototypesignals to modules at the October RAILFUN.Photograph by Ray Barry

HUB Headlight

I decided to continue my "Detours"column this month while I workthrough some of the remaining NJ

caboose issues. It's the dog days ofAugust, while I sit in my cool basementand look around. I am reminded of themany projects I've started but notcompleted. I have modules to build, kitsto begin and engines to finish reworking.The list goes on, but you know how it is.

So after I put aside the caboose to dry, Igrabbed one of my partially detailed andweathered RS3 units. At one point Idecided that all of my Atlas RS 3s for theD&H needed proper, or at least plausible,fuel tanks. While the excellent runningAtlas model is patterned after a passengerversion, such as that found on the Rutland,B&M or NYC with an additional watertank for steam generators, this must beremoved and replaced with a simplerrectangular version with two side-mounted air-tanks.

This also means removing the motor fromthe frame and milling off some of theform-fitting weight. One can do this andjust simply rebuild the back half of thefuel tank by extending the front boxsection, leaving the cast air tanks in place.This gives a plausible look to the RS-3 butit is less accurate than a complete removaland rebuild of both the fuel and air tanks.This latter approach I had already begunfor several units by constructing therectangular fuel tank from styrene. Whatwas needed was to add the fuel fillers, tanksight glasses and the longer but smallerdiameter air tanks on either side.

The air tanks were made from ¼" styrenetubing with half-split-shot fishing weightsglued to the ends and further shaped witha file as I had done previously for myHartford contest model.

Since the D&H owned 101 of these RS-3s,or 128 if one counts the earlier reworkedRS-2 version, it's a good bet you'd see onein a lash-up, or working a yard alone,during the 37 years they lasted on the

system. The last unmodified version wasretired in 1986. Their versatility as bothroad and local switch engines caused thedisplacement of the end cab S-2 and S-4Alco switchers on the D&H. They weredown-graded from mainline duty whenthe RS-11s and RS-36s came along with amore robust design featuring the model251 diesel engine. The RS-3 did outlastthe six-axle Century 628s by about 10years since the later had a tendency tochew up the track after dirt gummed upthe sliding tri-mount suspension for thetrucks. The later ALCO C420s andC424m’s were not purchased new butrather obtained second-hand after theformation of Conrail. If I had to start mymodeling over again I would stick withjust the D&H during its Alco years fromthe mid 40's through late 60's.

This modeling period holds my attentionfor several reasons. First and foremost itwas a time when the D&H still hauledcoal. Coal was needed for the sinteringplant up in Tahawus and the steel millsthat were winding down operations on theshores of Lake Champlain. The iron orescoming out of Sanford Lake on the NorthCreek Branch and down the switchbackfrom the Moriah and Mineville area intoPort Henry gave it a heavier industrialfeeling other than just being a bridgeroute. The paper mills in Ticonderoga,Corinth and Warrensburg also made forinteresting loads in and out. This was theera of 34-foot hoppers and 40- and 50-footboxcars as well as survival of some 72-foot all steel passenger cars. On the22-inch radius of my partially assembledmodular layout this equipment looks andoperates just fine. I will probably neverhave the time, money nor space tocomplete a larger basement layout withmore sweeping 36-inch radius curves.

What triggered my thinking was watchingmy beat-up old NYC RS-3 hauling a stringof the shorter old hoppers filled with coalthrough the yard of Dan Fretz'sAppalachian coal mining community atthe National show. One could hear theburbling Alco echo off the valley wallsand almost smell the smoke drifting fromthe miners’ shanties as the householdsawoke to a cup of fresh coffee heated on awood stove. Ever since I first saw theefforts of Allen McClelland with his

Shanty Talk:Detours II

by Rudy Slovacek

modeling of the V&O in the hobby press,I was convinced that I would model asimilar mountain operation in the East.

But that was before I had assimilated someof the D&H history with its coalingoperations in eastern Pennsylvania andmining and paper operations in theAdirondacks. The scenery is basically thesame for both. Railroad tracks followinga stream or river bed through lush,forested mountains. In my case operationswill occur along the upper Hudson Riverwith coal in and sintered ore and paperproducts out.

A picture in Shaughnessy’s book on theD&H, on pg 354, depicting several RS-3units hauling coal up through the Boreasriver gorge to the Tahawus mines, was aclincher for me. All of my recent moduleefforts beginning with Schenectady,through Balston and Saratoga Yardroughly capture the mainline up to thebranch point at Saratoga Springs wherethe line continues up to North Creek (yetto be built).

Here, too, I took another modeling detourwhen scouting the more northerlyChamplain Division, with its history ofpaper mills in Fort Ticonderoga. There Istumbled on the western terminus of theAddison Branch of the Rutland. It ranfrom Larrabe's Point across the lake fromFort Ticonderoga to Leicester Junction onthe mainline between Rutland andBurlington, VT. Had it not been for thedifficulty in maintaining a floating bridgeduring winter ice jams near the turn of thecentury, the Rutland may have been thefirst to tap the Adirondacks from theEastern shore of Lake Champlain. Thelightly traveled Addison Branch was tornup several years before the Rutland wentbankrupt, but I modeled this importantJunction without even knowing what itlooked like for my very first set ofmodules. I plan to re purpose them for aregion between Hadley and Stony Creekwhen the time comes.

Stay tuned for a continuation of my workprojects that I hope to keep on track! Inthe meantime don't forget to volunteer forour New England Model Train ExpoShow in December.

(Continued from Page 1)

Let's start by building the smaller lumbershed.

1. The site for my model. The bluepainter's tape is invaluable for protectingthe track while building scenery. It iseasily removed with no residue when themessy work is finished. No matter howlarge the space, it is never big enough.The foreground of my structure willdefinitely have to be cut off. Oh yes, mymodels are built in O scale, but the sametechniques will work in any scale.

2. While scribed styrene or sheet woodwould be easier to work with and quicker,board-by-board construction goes rather

quickly and will always look better withless effort, especially in the foregroundwhere the top and the bottom of the floorswill both be visible.

Long go, I solved the difficulty of findingcorrectly sized stripwood by cutting myown. I purchase Midwest Models plainbasswood sheets in thicknesses from 1/32"to 1/4". The lumber is ripped to size witha small Micro- Mark table saw, whichcosts less than a new HO-diesel, and hasmany other uses A fine tooth blade makeslittle sanding necessary to finish the wood;this way I can have whatever size wood Iwant whenever I need it.

The wood was finished with a light washof India ink and alcohol followed by avery light wash of burnt umberwatercolor. Pre-painting the woodprevents the occurrence of unsightly glue"spluges." The “nail holes” are perhapsunnecessary and out of sale, but I thinkthey add interest to an otherwise boringfloor. They are quickly drawing with anorange gell pen.

Although many modelers recommendyellow carpenter's glue, I use white gluesince it adheres better to painted surfacesand dries more invisibly. In this picturewe have the first-floor assembly. A beltsander proved the best way to taper theinside (front) edge, necessary to fit thelayout space.

3. Northeasternclapboard sidingwas used for thepainted outside wallof the lumber shed.These nail holeswere embossedwith a Micro-Markriveting tool.Painted white andHunter Green, lightbrown and blackwatercolor washeshave been added.Although my shedis only six feetdeep, the full shedwould be about 16to 20 feet long.

4. Since theinterior of theshallow see-through shed willbe quite visible,care must be takento include the innersheathing, and studsystem. Theindents are for thetwo floors.

(Continued from Page 4)

5. The first floor and wall are gluedtogether. Use a square!

6. In order to ensure equal lengths, theposts were cut with a NWSL Chopper.The furthest post was glued first.Although we are trying to replicate thelook of prototype wood-frameconstruction, we have the advantage ofgravity and can do many things the easyway. Use a square!

7. One side of the beam is in place.Rather than doing things the hard way andinstalling all of the posts first, installingone side of the header first will serve toalign the remaining posts. The overhangat the end was left to possibly tie the shedinto the main building. If this does notwork out it can always be trimmed later.

8. Posts and beam are in place. In thereal world the posts and beam would beinstalled before the floor. Rather than twoboards, the beam might well be solid, butthe hollow space on both levels will beinvisible and provides a handy place forelectrical wires.

9. The ridge pole is a solid beam built inmuch the same way. Use a square!

10. The remainder of the posts and thetruss support. Although not illustrated, thesupport was built in the same way as thefirst-floor beam, one board first to alignthe posts, then the posts and the other sideof the support.

11. The sway braces were added as anafterthought. The structure did notindicate they were necessary, but it lookedlike they should be there. When the roofis on, they will just barely be seen butcontribute a little to the detail.

By now we should have something thatmost people will recognize either as aWorld War One Fokker Triplane or a verynarrow lumber shed. Now that the modelis strong enough to handle withoutbreaking all your hard work, this is a goodtime to add interior lighting if you wish.It's also a good opportunity to check onelast time that the model will fit in its spaceon the layout.

As it is, I have pretty much exhausted mysupply of stripwood so I will have to eithercut and stain some more lumber or make atrip to the hobby shop or contact Amazon.While I am waiting for these to be ready, Ithink I will take a break from what isbecoming a very elaborate model andwonder if I really do need a life. I hope tosee you again when I get more of theSouth Shore Lumber Company completed.
