I'd need to look in that project box to refresh my memory but I'm almost positive I bought NWSL On3 wheelsets for those dumpers. Matt Country: | Posts: 43 Old Goat New Hire Posted - 08/06/2012 :  9:39:33 PM     Two good references on the Palmetto Brick Railroad: Trains Magazine, March 2006 Railroad Model Craftsman Magazine, August 2011 Matt Country: | Posts: 43 Frederic Testard Engineer Posted - 08/07/2012 :  04:21:22 AM     Very nice work, Matt. I guess they are scratchbuilt? Frederic Testard Country: France | Posts: 16457 Old Goat New Hire Posted - 08/07/2012 :  06:52:52 AM     Thanks, yes they are scratchbuilt. Initially I built one and tried resin casting the parts but found that building them assembly-line fashion using a NWSL Chopper was easier.

I started on these On3 Palmetto Brick RR dumpers nearly two years ago...maybe it's time to complete them and build one of the Plymouth locos. Matt Matt, Can you share any dimensions? Did you get to measure the prototype or are you estimating? Larry Download Attachment: PalmettoDumpers1.jpg 60.8 KB Country: USA | Posts: 7372 Old Goat New Hire Posted - 08/07/2012 :  07:20:10 AM     They were built from just photos. There were a few 'practice' dumpers. Once I was satisfied with the proportions, I built the four in the photo. They were built using stock sizes of styrene strip, angle and rod from Evergreen Scale Models. I'd be happy to provide dimensions and a material list but it might be a few days. Matt Country: | Posts: 43 BigLars Fireman Premium Member Posted - 08/07/2012 :  07:25:16 AM     Matt, That information would be helpful. No rush as it may be months before I try to build one. Larry Country: USA | Posts: 7372 vamodeler Engine Wiper Posted - 08/07/2012 :  08:13:09 AM       Matt, Fantastic work. Well proportioned, clean, accurate looking cars. Wow!

It would be great if you could maybe post a drawing or you dimensions. Are you going to scratch the solid style side frames like these? I have wanted to build some with that style side frame.Look forward to seeing how you finish the cars.

Let me say he is one fine scratch builder.
