rdg5310 OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 265 Thank you received: 39	Hey Barry, The first article is based on the Lehigh, Delaware, Schuykill and Brandywine tugs with prints. They were the FM 960 hp diesels.I was able to get part 2 of that article. It also has prints for the Tamaqua, Pottsville and Shamokin. These were the 1600 hp monsters. Which one or both?

Hi Ron - Thanks again for the help!!

I was noticing last night, after looking at photos I printed off for reference, there is quite a difference between the two "classes" of Tugs that you have mentioned, per the article.
The first group - Lehigh, Delaware, Schuykill and Brandywine are fairly similar to the Walthers kit. The other group has quite a different pilot house and some kit-bashing will be required.

I was going to model the Shamokin, and while I'm not afraid of some hacking and modifying, it would be easier to build the Schuykill. Please send me info on that one. Thanks!!

Thanks,
Barry

rdg-barry OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 378 Thank you received: 44	yes I will, promise! I probably could start posting since I've got the main part together. Keep thinking that if I start and don't keep building at a steady pace, some would lose interest. But then again, everyone is notified when a new post is posted! OK, talked me into it... will start posting next week, after vacation.
	Thanks, Barry The administrator has disabled public write access.
