Bill,

      The car with the NWSL P-64 wheel sets ran in a way freight.  It was as a 
result pushed and pulled during the course of the operating session without any 
problems.  Actually, I was testing the change of wheel sets to determine 
whether the rumors of problems was a fact.  To date, we have successfully 
installed NWSL wheel sets on about 11 different types of SHS, AM, and our own 
THE  SUPPLY CAR kits.

      They look good on display at RPM meets.  Folks who attend the SAVANNAH 
RPM gathering in April 2013.  Anyone in the SE who wants more information on 
attending the RPM should contact me off site directly.  We have shown a lot of 
people a variey of models possible in S.

      Monte Heppe is planning to bring the portable layout  he showed at the 
CHATTANOOGA Convention this past summer.   Bob Hogan showed his long SP 
passenger consist previously.  Chris Rooney showed his SAL engine.  We had 
numerous passenger and freight car models in S on display.  HO modelers were 
amazed at what was available in Scale S.  We hope to be able to have five to 
seven S modelers there with a variety of models to go with Monte's layout.  We 
plan to pass out literature if we can obtain a source for same.

Thanks,

Bob McCarthy

Did you push it around the layout backwards in the middle of a train? 
Were these wheelsets truly P64 (FINEscale) or the old P64 designated 
wheelsets which are a version of the standard wheelsets, or even code 88?

We tested a boxcar on Larry Morton's fine layout in HENDERSONVILLE, 
NC/  They were hauled around in a freight consist without any problems on 
TOMALCO track and turnouts.  They really look nice on a contest model and 
run well too.
