PNW RPM photos
Author: pmack

Brian Rutherford posted some photos of the recent Pacific Northwest Railroad Prototype Modelers meet on his pbase site:

Like all good RPM attendees, I finished my model of the big orange wheel on the flatcar late the night before.

An interesting method of blocking that load - no weight on the axle or bearings, no contact with the deck to bend or damage the rim. The spokes take all the load, either vertically (dead weight) or angled (fore and aft bracing).

Thanks for forwarding the link.
The event gets a little bit bigger each year and it makes the long day drive coming over and the same on the return worthwhile.

It is nice to visit with modelers and get some new tips to work with.
