The German's are Coming!



An extremely popular model the Rio Grande Krause Maffei and matching Dynamometer car make them a must have set for the seasoned brass collector. Ajin Precision Manufacturing of Korea produced these fine miniatures in 1:87 HO for The Division Point in 2006. Like any Ajin masterpiece these models set the bar for the KM's. With high hopes The Division Point will produce this fine locomotive in O scale.



Most of you know the KM's and I hope the model speaks for itself.

Additions to this issue of the Brass Scrapbook include Division Point's lightweight PS/Budd cars in Rio Grande that included the Rio Grande's business car "Wilson McCarthy" in the later 1960's through the end the McCarthy era detailing.

Rio Grande's F units always looked nice in the 1 stripe scheme. Budd's C&O "Chessie" low profile dome coach bought direct from Budd in 1949 by the Rio Grande stands behind.

Boo-Rim Precision built these cars for The Division Point

1 stripe scheme in use still today with "Kansas"

Fully lighted these fine models make an excellent consist.

 

 

 

While on the subject of passenger cars; how about a little Coach Yard!

 

Oh how I love Coach Yard; and in time I will make entire issue of the Brass Scrapbook dedicated to the various fabulous sets Fred Hill has brought us in 1:87. These models are simply spectacular; in my opinion worth their weight in gold.

Coach Yard came up with his "Darwin" coupler box that is adjustable for various radius curves. Yes even HO has tight radius issues; and with the "Darwin" you can tighten up those diaphragms just like the 1:1 cars as long as you have some mighty realistic diameter curves.

 

What I would not do too see these fine miniatures in 1:48

Correct dining room detailing and even China patterns faithfully reproduced. Simply marvelous.

I know Gregg, Fred's cars are just spectacular. Sam Model later Sam Tech just really home runs any project they do. Fred basically owns Sam Tech and until recently they built exclusively for his Coach Yard. We recently just finished up the Expo Flyer and Early Prospector sets with his very generous cooperation with Division Point.

Division Point is willing to explore O scale with Sam Tech using the research on the Expo and Early Prospector; the deal is we need the reservations. Minimum orders plague these projects.
