drumhead needed for NKP 765 excursions
Author: NKP779

The Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society will be operating some very good excursions in 2015 and in the future.

We really need a proper drumhead for the rear of these excursions.....we can have suitable circular panels made for individual trips.

Anybody out there have a suitable aluminum "can" that we can use?

I recall seeing a nice stainless one here in St. Louis on the Mohave in 2012 - did FWRHS own that one?

You can still buy new ones from that guy in Iowa - Paul Macdonald.  I think he's out of Waterloo.  He also makes the drum head signs for sale.  I'm looking around for his contact info and I'll post as soon as I find it.

No, it was furnished by the Ben Butterworth and his Mid America Railcar organization.  We are trying to find one of our own.

Contact AAPRCO as they always seem to have the proper drumhead. There is a company in Dayton Ohio,  "Fleet Graphics" that I seem to remember having the capabilties to make them. Contact me off line and I can provide a contact
