Yay for the PD hoppers!

[Wutter]

Couldn't find the right UPY decals that I needed but ended up picking up a sheet of NRE demonstrator. Fuel tank is the wrong type for this specific locomotive but I've got an angular one on order already.

Very nice!  What did you use for the handrails on this model?

[kondor]

slick, nice paint job!

[Wutter]

Thanks @GaryHinshaw

The handrails are made from soldered 0.008" phosphor bronze wire with GMM stanchions, took a little bit of time but I think it was worth the results of handrails that almost disappear.

Alvin,

I sent you a message through the Railwire system with a suggestion for a small project. I wanted to ask in private so you could give an answer without feeling any pressure. Thank you for your consideration.

Best wishes, Dave

Good stuff Alvin! Have you or anyone else printed these TSC boxes?

[jpwisc]

Those TCS boxes might be just the thing for body mounting some tank cars I have.

[Wutter]

Someone over on Trainboard is my first customer as he requested the short box version for the TSC. I'll be following up with him to see what he thinks in terms of coupler swing and versatility. The box design is exactly the same as the old boxes for the MT truck mounted couplers but now with a post up front and center for the TSC.

I'll need to buy some of the long shank versions this month to see if I can make a mod for that as well because I think moving the pivot back a little bit has a chance of helping increase coupler swing.

[jereising]

Been playing around with the TSC, very pleased with the results replacing the body mounted couplers on my trinity 5161 grain train.

Got to thinking about how nice it would be to be able to replace with these on my BLMA cars - but I'm not gonna deface those cars. 

I think it could be done (I monkeyed around with a TSC box and got it to fit on a reefer, kind of.  But it was too deep and the coupler kept flopping around vertically.

Be nice if some talented designer would come up with something that would work - I've got a lot of BLMA cars....

This is something M-T could easily do - make a TSC that would fit a standard M-T box.  The innards would need to be larger, but they could narrow at the shank easily enough.

Lots of thinking out loud here.
