| Side Dump Ballast Car |
Early Drawing Board |
2-axle, archbar frame, this is what did dump truck duty
on construction projects before there were dump trucks. |
| ca. 1900 Steam Shovel |
Conceptual Design |
It looks like a boxcar with a boom at one end, but
it's designed like its siblings who dug the Panama Canal. |

| 0-C-0 Box Cab |
Aquiring Parts |
I found a 24v. electric motor at the club auction, so had
to design a locomotive to use it. |
| Worthington Duplex Pumps |
Partially Finished |
Some time ago, after acquiring my lathe, I was given a box that
contained the plans and the castings, partially machined, of 2 model
Worthington duplex pumps. I used the full sized ones at a RR museum where
I operated equipment, so this looked like a good beginning project for me.

| 2-6-2T Woods Loco |
Dreaming |
(1920's, Baldwin?, Oil Fired) With 44" drivers and
a full saddle tank, the protoypte of this engine was so quick that an
engineer had a standing bet that a brakeman who stepped off the front
footboard at a full stop couldn't get back on the rear footboard as the
locomotive accellerated. |
