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 ________________________________ From: scale S only <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 12:51 AM Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} Discussing NWSL P-64 wheel sets 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? Bill Winans ------------------------------- 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. Bob McCarthy
