East Penn Traction Club, of course! A bit red faced as one of the regulars in the Denver, Colorado area ops groups is a prolific traction modeler (Read: Lehigh Valley Traction.) plus a member of the East Penn. He attends all of their conventions. Will tap him about RDG catenary or a knowledgeable source for modeling methods. Thanks for the EPTC memory jog. Evan
As the comments of the EPTC being 100% overhead. There were traction lines that used third-rail for their juice. Had considered modeling a section of heavy traction where the line changed from overhead to third-rail - BUT - I was turned off to that idea by the thought of the smell those 1/87 trespassers would emit once having completed the circuit from the third-rail to running rail.  |
