Individuality and Model Railroading.
electrical expert and has done a lot of work on the L. A. club layout. He also designed the Varney motor. But the last time we saw him he showed us the crowning achievement. It is a UP Challenger type 4-6-6-4 in HO, and it has everything! The entire unit is fully sprung, even to six-wheel Buckeye tender trucks. The running boards are perforated as per prototype, the cab windows and roof ventilator slide, and the trailer truck slides from side to side on rockers. Black nickle plate is used as a finish instead of paint, which would obscure detail. And when one talks to Lindsay it develops that his other ideas are just like his model building. He's another one of those men who believe it's much better to do one thing right than to do 10 things half way.
Originality in names and places has been mentioned from time to time, but never have we seen a gag quite as good as that of using the model railroad to boost an employer's products. It's done every now and then. Last time we noticed it was on Don Blair's 0 gauge line in Charleston, Ill. Don is connected with the Dorite Manufacturing Co., makers of comes mighty close to various construction compounds, and so he built a private owner tank car for Dorite. Now he has a good source of freight revenue and gives the meal ticket a boost as well. Other model rails
EACH model railroad more or less reflects the personality of the owner. And this is just what makes the hobby so interesting, both to the man who builds the pike and to his fellow model rails who watch him do it.
You want to build a locomotive? Like as not, even if you build it from a standard kit, it will be somewhat different from any locomotive before or after. Of course it may not be as different as the 2-8-4 that Vic Newton of Springfield built. Vic always wanted a 2-8-4 but a standard job would not go around his curves, so he used his head and built a jack with the whole fire box and cab riding the trailer truck and - swiveled to the rest of the engine. It goes around any curve or corner, something as does a worm.
