Title: Log Car "Stretcher"
Post by: glennk28 on December 13, 2008, 09:05:24 PM
Several years ago I saw a casting that allowed one to lengthen the Bachmann "Skeleton" log car.  Does anyone know where I can find some of these--I can use up to a dozen at least.

No--they ARE called "Longer Center Sills".  I know "Roosters"--they are used to connect disconnect trucks. 

What I am after is that the Bachmann cars are 11" long---roughly 20 scale feet.  What I am looking for is a casting taken from the existing sill that makes it about 15" long.  Someone used to make them--I was hoping not to have to start from scratch.  gj

I think you are looking for the Nonesuch Car & Foundry who made the Skeleton Log Car Extension for the Bachmann log cars.  I have their e-mail address as [email protected].

If that doesn't work I can also provide the mailing address.

Peter.
