Wreck Trains by Ron Dukarm Available through the
Erie Lackawanna Historical Society
Since the display room at the prototype meets is designed to share information, rather than be a contest, works-in-progress are on the tables next to finished models. Chris Zygmunt is working on an HO scale Santa Fe SD39 using Evergreen styrene, Cannon & Co. doors, cab base, cab, etc., and “everybody else’s parts.” Come to next year’s RPM Conference to see how it turns out. He also works in On3. This is D&RGW caboose 0505; the body is Kappler wood over styrene sub-walls, and it has a fully detailed underbody. Many of the detail parts are from Precision Scale Co., others are Grandt Line. Just in case you are wondering, Chris also brought along several finished HO scale models.

PGE/BCR Centenary 2012 July 13-15, 2012, will bring a 100th anniversary convention to Squamish, B.C., at the West Coast Railway Her- itage Park to commemorate the centen- nial of the Pacific Great Eastern/British Columbia Railway. More information will be forthcoming, but maybe it is a good time to make plans for it now.
John Johnson is another “regular” who can fill a corner of a table. Among the projects he completed in the last year is this PRR G32a gon. The HO car has cast resin sides (Micro Mark molding rubber and their CT600 resin) done from JJ’s own masters, and styrene and wire. The ends are his trademark aluminum foil salvaged from supermarket bakery tins pressed onto a Dreadnaught boxcar end as a form. The tie-down clips are .060″ copper foil (scale thickness) and are adhered to the carbody with a dot of paint! (So far, so good—they have stayed stuck.) Tahoe Model Works 70-trucks are under the car, and it is painted with Floquil zinc chromate primer. Middle Division decals were applied directly to that and oversprayed.
