Re: doorknobs and cabbage stacks
Howdy all, The stack in question was made several years ago from an old door knob as suggested by Kevin strong. I was fortunate enough to have a suitable candidate on the bathroom door in my shop. So...it was sacrificed for the good of the project. My house is full of the same type doorknob but I am a little wary of taking any of these. :_) This cabbage stack was made for what used to be a Pearse Colorado that spent some quality time with a jeweler's saw. I was going after a Argent Lumber CO. Swamp Rat look. See the book, "The Last of the Swamp Rats". Our own Richard Finlayson was chief hacker on a Pearse loco of his own at the time and provided much inspiration for my project.

Re: doorknobs and cabbage stacks
Vance, It happens every time. I sent the link awhile ago and then found the other ones I was looking for. Enjoy! http://web2.airmail.net/cmalone/temp/txrat01.jpg -The apparent prototype for Carl's Swamp Rat locomotive. http://web2.airmail.net/cmalone/temp/rat2.htm -Another page devoted to his locomotive.

Re: doorknobs and cabbage stacks
Hey Vance, Here's the link that I had to Carl's pictures of his 'Swamp Rat' with the onion stack in place. I still think I've seen more pics of it somewhere. If I find them I'll let you know. http://web2.airmail.net/cmalone/temp/morerat.htm Later, Trent VR Bass wrote: >I had thought it was Carl Malone's work, >but I don't find a photo of it on his web page so now I'm doubting my memory >
Re: doorknobs and cabbage stacks
Hello Vance, I don't know if you ever got a response to your query or not. Yes, Carl Malone built a cabbage stack for his 'Swamp Rat' by using a doorknob. I'll try to find the link to his pics of it when I get home. Later, Trent VR Bass wrote: >Does anyone remember who made the cabbage stack from a brass doorknob?

Re: doorknobs and cabbage stacks
'twas not my locomotive, alas. My involvement was limited only to suggesting the idea. Unfortunately, I haven't come across any more such knobs since then, so I haven't been able to do anything with that, either. Ah well... Later, K

Thanks, Jim. Sometimes I wonder if I'm losing it early, then I remember that I wasn't any better at 20! -v-
