NP Series 13000-13499 Box Car
|
¼” scale model built from a Chooch Ultra Scale kit produced in the late 1990’s. The basic body is composed of urethane castings from patterns done by Rick Leach. The kit came with injection molded styrene detail parts, white metal and brass castings along with the usual assortment of wire and strip styrene. I altered the kit due to some assembly errors on the underframe. I decided to scratchbuild a new underframe, end ladders and doors rather than sanding a ton of very small urethane castings. The model was finished with Accupaint Rich Oxide Brown with a touch of Oxide Brown. Decals are a special set done by Rick Leach. The trucks are San Juan Car Company Bettendorf U-Section trucks with Grandt Line Proto48 bracketed wheels. The working AAR Type-E couplers are from San Juan as well. By Gene Deimling, Los Gatos, CA.

NP Yellowstone Division
|
It's Oct 1,1955 and 80 degs. The bags are packed, the kids are in the back seat asking if we're there yet. You look out the window and think, boy it sure would be nice to see a train about now. As you roll over the bridge Gilbert Narly is below trying to land that bass that eluted his father for years. Warren said, "He has to go 6 lbs if he's an ounce." Passing the Burma Shave signs Ole 'Buck ' Jones heads into Big Timber to quench his thirst and pickup more wire for fencing on his ranch. Earl Pitts, long haul trucker, wishes this rubber-necker would pull over. Ah, but the one armed rail fan is 'High Balling' to catch up with the Shields River turn after shooting it's caboose on bridge 51 and that guy with the air horn can just cool it ! And so goes another day on the Yellowstone Div.

NP5002 Z-5 in Live Steam
|
David Workman of Redmond, Oregon, and Larry Anderson started building the Class Z-5 Yellowstone shown here in 1/8th or 1.5"/1' Scale in October 2004. They built everything except for the boiler, frame and a few accessories which were purchased from Train Mountain where the parts had been sitting in the back shop for five to six years. All The parts of the project are shown in this photo gallery. Their model of NP5002 was finished and run under steam in June 2007. David found this to be a wonderful experience working with Larry who is an incredible machinist. If you have questions about this project email David at: dworkman@bendbroadband.com .

O-Scale NP-GN Layout
|
Duane is modeling the NP and GN in western Montana to eastern Washington in the late 40's-early 50's allowing steam and diesels. The GN will have the electrified division with two electric yards. All rolling stock is correct for the era and weathered. There is a 65-foot, 20-train hidden staging yard that will enable the dispatcher to bring trains out to the viewing area. From there, an engineer will take over and run the train thru the system and bring it back to disappear again in the staging yard. Three trains will run at the same time during operating sessions, while the dispatcher is making up and receiving trains in the staging yard.
