Pope Imagineering - OUT OF BUSINESS (FROM WHAT I CAN TELL)
Had a PCC car and a CSS&SB interurban, a Niles car. My PCC required regauging of the wheels. Apparently the wheel to wheel distance was based upon the S gauge standards provided by the NMRA rather than the NASG, meaning that the wheel base is too close. Mine came with an overhead pickup pole and runs on two rail track with positive and negative leads.
Also installing Trainmaster hand held controls, AC power, in S gauge engines. Will be doing a tender that allows you to pull the e-unit out of the AF train and install a sound card and receiver; turn on off headlights, smoke, etc...while the power is on full to your track....just like DCC but it's AC. Great for AF. Will also be making European style trolley poles in S gauge.
The above pictured Pope car measures approximately 9 inches in length [9/ (12x46.5) = 0.0161 = 1/62] which is about 1/62 scale. The wheelsets look to regauged HO Athearn trucks but gauged by NMRA S scale standards (.875') as opposed to the NASG standards (.883").
