On30 / Forney with Plastic cab and Bunker?
March 21, 2007, 08:07:51 AM
I received the first of my 2 Forney's today [the other one got damamged in transit from importer to my Hobbyshop] I was surprised to see that the cab and tender is made of plastic, when compared to the photos posted on this sites photo gallery clearly showed them with white metal cab and tender.
Was there a weight balance problem that they were changed?

On30 / Re: Frames for Freight cars

Mr Bachmann,
If you really want to offer a low hunkered down look car then may I suggest, by removing the raised portion on the bolster on car frames, also remove the extended coupler pockets and replace it at the normal position [ie: where the other hole is currently above the coupling].
On the low profile bogies [Item No. 29904], replace the clip in rocker pad or stabilizer pads with lower profile type so they protrude about 10 thou above the side frame about equal to the current height of the bolt detail, and also remove the bolt detail on or around the bolster area of the side frames, what this does is gives you a car with a coupling height as per HO standard in the correct position and these cars would market very well in conjunction with the new Forney's.
