HOn30 Tribute Diesels

[Bernd]

First thank you Criag for adding the three gauges as I model in all three. I'll have to start a thread in the Layout Tour section on the layout I'm building and how the three gauges are part of the layout.

So first I'll show a set of HOn30 diesels I built as a tribute to a fallen member of the RR-L. That would be Bill Andersen (aka geezer). And I also scratch built a set of four HOn30 electric box cabs.



I'll start the thread off with these pictures of the six sets of power.



I was also into On30 at that time and built two On30 box cabs that Bill wound up owning.



Once I get my pictures transferred on my website server list I'll do another SBS thread on HOn30 "Critters".

It's nice to see you constructing these here Bernd. Perhaps those interested in similar projects will be following you. Though I won't be modeling in any scale other than HO, I will be looking in from time to time to get some tips. I'll take a seat in the back. Maybe I can help with adult beverages & popcorn. Let the fun begin.

Those electric boxcabs are right up my alley.  Err, siding, I mean.

Since Criag put up that section why not. It's been a since I built those.

I'll do an SBS after I do the diesels.

Thanks Cuse. Once I get the Suydam engine house done I'll be doing the SBS on the diesels.

Terminology question:  Does SBS mean step-by-step?

You're welcome Craig. I figured it would be well received. I would have loved to me Geezer in person. He was quite a character. I'll work on this thread after I get the Suydam engine house thread done.

Bernd,

That is a great tribute to Bill, I was fortunate to meet him in person a couple of times and he was just a much a character in real life as he was on the forum.

Bernd,

Nice to put a face to the Geezer. Also, fantastic job on the boxcabs. They look right at home.

Ya he sure was. He wanted me to do some machining for him. It involved a tool that throws projectiles out of a tube. (I'm sure you know what I'm talking about). I explained to him why I couldn't do it.

He did like the On30 box cabs I had made. Makes me wonder what ever happened to them.

Both the box cabs are a freelance design. Thanks for the kind words.
