The Dunsel Line: June 2015
http://dunselline.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2015. These are NorthWest Short Line. Magic Carpet IIIs installed in Q Car. Baldwin 8430AA sideframes. I opted not to get the sideframes with North Shore trolley beams so that I could devise and 3D print my own. Trolley beams with free hanging third rail shoes. If this fails, I'll acquire the appropriate Q Car trolley beams and attach them myself. While I did take the opportunity to ride some trains, I was primarily there to complete and expand the measurements I took back in October.

Modeling NYC Elevated Structure
http://www.nycmodeltransit.org/ModelEl.htm
Modeling New York City Elevated Structure. Published by Xplorer Press. Cutting these strips and shapes to length in quantity is the key to building the structure, and a tool called "The Chopper II",from Northwest Shortline. Makes the job easy. This tool will cut pieces to the same size consistently, making it easy to collect enough parts to build in mass. Remember, when using this tool or any tool, follow the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully. 69-4 - Chopper II. CS397 - Corner Brace.

The Dunsel Line: September 2014
http://dunselline.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 21, 2014. Success on Two Fronts. Okay, so this update is long overdue. In the intervening weeks I have had some successes with my models and my "layout." I have come to the decision (largely in part because of the purchase of the 2000-series cars) that the Dunsel Line will not be a traditional trolley layout. It will be a two-rail layout equipped with dummy third rail. This will allow operation of CA&E. MTH made the shoe in the "on rail" position. The third option is, if at all possible.
