Recent acquisitions & restoration projects.....

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Thank you, Rufus! A couple of sets are on the way!

Glad to be of help - do be careful separating these parts from the sprues - close together and prone to going airborne never to be seen again!

Note that the N&W car appears to be de-railed. Maybe the purpose of the photo?

That probably came out of the Turner school of photography.

Really liking the Clover House dry transfers!!! I think 1/2 the time I'm doing these salvage operations it's just to get to the end point where I can use the neat lettering set,

Cold Rufus, way cold!

Is the Centralia car related to the well known PA town??? If so, fitting that it is carrying coal!

Actually, I thought it was a Centralia in WV, but the Centralia & Chester apparently was locating in Illinois,

Fantastic job, Rufus!

Thanks, Jon!

IMAGE OF REAL CAMEL CAR


"Camelogues.--Many of the readers of the Daily Railway Age Gazette, when they received their copies of the paper, turned first to read of the adventures of the Sheik Kahrdor and his ever faithful Camel Phixture, the railroad wonder. The Camel Company of Chicago has now reprinted the eight advertisements in the Dailies in booklet form. The eight pages are presumably the first attempt to adapt the Arabian Nights to railway supply advertising, but their success in drawing the reader's attention to the excellencies of the Camel car door fixture will not be questioned."

The above came from my search for "What is a camel car?"

Mayhaps that search was too broad? Perhaps you should have searched for "camel railroad car door hardware"?

Thank you Rufus. Your suggestion leads to an excellent discussion on door hardware over at OGR.

Martin, they carry Camel door hardware, but not Creco (I'm still not sure if that's what it is).
--Bob Delbridge

Protocraft also has some different types of car hardware.

Oh yeah, one more thing, I found out the "camel car door hardware" is not for camel cars, it is "Camel door hardware for railroad cars."

Wait for it............eventually Lionel will make a camel car for Arabian Nights train.

With the camel's head popping out of the roof of the car?
