What is your Covid-19 project:

I am in the process of converting my MTH Bump-n-Go “Center City Trolley” to the Duluth Street Railroad Co car #78.    

The Duluth (MN) Street Railroad Company was incorporated in 1881 and work began on tracks along Superior Street from Eighth Avenue West to Third Avenue East in September 1882.  Small trolley cars or “dinkies” pulled by mules began service on July 6, 1883. The ride cost a nickel.  The company was later expanded, electrified and operated until 1966.  The MTH two axle trolley closely resembles the early electrified trollies of the DSRRCo.      

My project required a basic color makeover with some added signage and minor detailing.  It did require me to disassemble the trolley for painting.   I’m impressed with the tooling as there is only one way the parts fit back together.   There is definitely a front and a back to this trolley and you can’t change the orientation of the parts.  This was very helpful.   I have decal sheets, thanks to a previous project, so I am able to printing appropriate sign boards and make decals for numbers and color striping.

The Minnesota Streetcar Museum currently operates DSRRCo #78 which serves as my target.

Shortly into the project, I decided I needed to add passenger to the interior.  I constructed a floor using a 1.0mm polystyrene sheet from evergreen scale models.   To provide proper clearance, I added a strip of 1.5mm square styrene to raise the floor above the motor.   Added seats and angled the backs 5 degrees.    Purchased a 24 - package of 1:50 scale painted seated figures from Evemodel.   Actually after I added some facial detail, they are quite acceptable for interior passengers and they are relatively cheap!.  Had to trim and cut the them down a bit to make them fit.   I give credit to John Rowlen (OGR Forum member) for this detail inspiration.  

I coated the exterior with Rust-Oleum 2x Ultra cover gloss Sun Yellow!   Will give to model a matte finish after decals have been added.  

Today I cut out the window center bar to more closely represent the windows on #78.  Missed that detail earlier in the project.  I also cut new window glazing to install later.  

I masked and painted the roof, bumpers and entrance doors.  Next step will be to add the decal striping, and car numbers.

It appears that I will have several more months of this Covid-stay-at-home to complete this project. Darn!!!!

Cheers to all and please wash your hands, wear your masks, and socially distance when out and about!  We have to beat this pandemic.  I begin my 81st trip around the sun in three months, so I’m counting on everyone out there to do their part to keep me safe!   Thanks for your help, Dave

PS:  I am looking for a motorman figure to operate this trolley.   Any suggestions?

Dave,

First let me say, this is a great project! I recently got a Bump-n-go trolley (MTH too) and I now have another thing on the to-do list (thanks for that haha!).

Have you looked the Arttista Subway Driver (#1374) as a motorman figure?

Bryce

Thanks for the tip.  Tried to find it on the web.   It appears to be sold out but I will keep on the lookout for #1374.  

Thanks, Dave  

Looks like you are doing an excellent job, in fact impressive! I only have one question: Why would you choose to incorporate the name of the Chinese plague in the title of your post? It's bad enough living with it, and dealing with it's effects every day. I see NO need to associate it with our hobby. I think most of us come here to escape thinking about it.

Respectfully,

Simon

MELGAR:  Hope you'll share the progress you make on building the LaBelle passenger car.  Labelle Woodworking Co. is still very much in business.  It would be interesting if any O gauge hi-rail operators as well as two rail modelers who include LaBelle and other manufacturers wood equipment on their layouts will share photos of same.  Though there are many models available on the market today that simulate wood, remember, there is nothing as good as wood when it comes down to the real thing.  It's always a pleasure to visit the Labelle site at www.labellemodels.com and see what's new.  They've been turning out wood kits in O and HO for decades now.  

Simon Winter:  I agree.  Perhaps "Lockdown Projects" would have been a better term to use?  Model railroading is an excellent hobby to help keep one's mind off The Attack of The Blob as well as catching up on reading all the railroad related books that are stacked in the corner so high they now require an "Excess Height" warning on them.  A real treat (despite the fact Halloween is over) for OGR Digital Subscribers are all the back issues just waiting to be read online for free!

This is the stack of railroad books that I have read during the pandemic. Of course, I have read most of them before, but that doesn't matter. The only problem is that whenever I read one of these books I order a model of a pictured locomotive or car.

Adding another industrial area with a shared run a round for enhanced off main branch line switching of two yards.

Wow!  Have plywood prices soared!  Homasote has remained somewhat the same in this market.

This project involves splicing into curved benchwork with new curved benchwork and further creating more aisles in our formerly open basement.

Obviously, the situation with this current pandemic has had a big impact on all of us; physically, psychologically, emotionally, economically, socially, and sadly - politically. Covid is real to us regardless of its origin. Fortunately, we are not “locked down” but to some degree we are “locked out” from many of our favorite train activities; York, local train shows, etc. My local in-house layout gatherings with my 3-rail buddies for morning coffees or Scotch nights have been greatly curtailed as a result, but this has been our choice. We will get over it!

So by calling it “What’s your Covid project,”  is meant to imply that this unusual time of reduced travel and spending, working from home, etc, might have provided some, extra time and resources for new projects.  Consider it a chance to share special projects that you may have put aside or delayed in the past!   I consider myself lucky being retired and not laid off from work, but being almost 80, my wife and I are considered vulnerable by US health Standards so we practice caution and try to follow guidelines from our health experts.   So far laying low is working for us amidst the recent reported increases in hospitalizations.   Our only real inconvenience has been the cancellation of several trips and a big reduction of social activities.   It is what it is!           My train room has provided a helpful diversion!  I hope the same for others.

Cheers, Dave

Completed my covid trolley project. I did receive my order from Q-car in a timely manner and was surprise to discover that the package contained three motormen. One is now operating #78 and another can been seen taking tickets and assisting  passengers. It has been a fun project and I am please with the results so now, since we are still sheltering, it’s time for another project. I have a couple eBay orders in transit that should keep me busy for a few more months.   

Cheers, Dave

Excellent!  Looks great.

Thanks again for your Q-Car recommendation!   In order to attach the motorman in the front, I had to cut off some legs so that clearance remained below him for the bump-n-go slide.   I built a control panel and epoxied the arms to the panel.   The last step before remounting the roof was to bond the control panel to the front dash area.   I hope the bonds hold (marine epoxy) during an occasional trolly bump-n-go run.   For the most part, it will remain a static display on the layout.

Fuel tank projects. I took advantage of the Lionel 1/2 price sale for this SD90Mac #18269, I installed a better Legacy tank from a 6-18274 engine (direct replacement), Lionel's rendition of UP harbor mist gray in 2001 was closer to SP dark gray, so I might just repaint the gray portion on the whole engine so it will match my MTH UP locos.



EMD FP45 Loco is MTH with a MTH SD45T-2 fuel tank, I might need to shave a little bit off of the top or bottom so the tank doesn't drag the rails, I have to drill new mounting holes either way - it's not a direct mount. I might move the tank forward so the gap between front truck is not so bad....I have to notch around the smoke unit mounting screws. For rear truck gap I can just add an air water separator detail.



Santa Fe SD40-2 is a Weaver model with an MTH Scaleking SD45 fuel tank. The tank is a direct replacement, no holes needed other than for the speaker. The tank will also work for MTH PS1 SD45 and Early MTH SD40-2.

It's gray because it's from my Southern Pacific SD45, I'm just test fitting before placing an order with MTH.

I was starting to add a second train table to the first one so as to double my layout size and stay modular in case we move.

Then St. Barnabas Hospital called and had a kidney available for transplant. Needless to say I am armchair modeling for a few more weeks!

Best wishes Sean and I will be praying for a good resolve with your transplant!   I was born at St. Barnabas Hospital.   I assume from your picture of Mickey's Diner, you must live in the Twin Cities.

I can understand that for sure, Eddie!  Sounds like one will be available for you soon.  I’m only 64, so I’m glad to wait for folks like you and my mum and dad to get it first.

Actually I started staying at home last November when I retired and had a knee replacement.  Once I got around well the stay at home order was in.  I was able to get to work on my Blackwater Canyon Line layout build.  You can see it in the link in my signature line.

Thanks Dave - my St Barnabas is in Livingston, NJ, just west of the Oranges, probably 1\2 hour from NYC.

I did get to Mickey's once, years ago. I just thought that that was how a diner should look.

Working tons of overtime!!

Seriously I managed to get the Halloween display up and back down but other than that my only projects have involved making some acquisitions through hobby shops, auctions and the occasional ebay purchase.  While some folks have been stuck at home I have been working my tail off.  Looking forward to a couple days off for Thanksgiving

Thanks for the reply.   Yes, Mickey's diner is an iconic St. Paul treasure.   Seeing that picture made me think you must be one of the regulars!   We have eaten there a few times.   Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks Mark - it's been a long six years on dialysis, the result of a hereditary factor. Anyway, I was transplanted on 10/26/20 and so far everything is going well.

I will soon get back to modeling the second table which will bolt up to the first table. That will make the layout 6' x 8'. The third table should get me to 6' x 12' which should keep me busy for a while.

My plan includes a MTH Redbird Subway set running underneath.

This was our Covid project- building my Upstairs Standard Gauge Layout. We started in March of 2020. While Hubby Tom was starting with the prep of cutting, sanding, and staining wood in the garage, I was building the Majestic Mountain on the Breakfast Room table. This layout run three Standard Gauge trains, and a O loop that runs along the Mountain ridge, and through the Hellgate Bridge.

I wouldn't say my projects are necessarily Covid related, but I have been busy both in the model and real train realms. I've been making some coal loads, and plan to clean the track on my outdoor shelf layout to get some trains running out there. Tracks will go down on the floor in the family room before the tree goes up after Thanksgiving dinner.

In the real train world, I am a member of the Huber Breaker Preservation Society in Ashley PA, and we acquired a mining locomotive in June that we are doing little projects on, mainly locating and getting parts for a future restoration. At our park, we have a concrete switchmnan shanty that was vandalized recently. The door was kicked in, and I am in the process of rebuilding it. We also have a Franklin mine car that had a section of the false bottom collapse. That was an easy fix that required the coal from that section to be removed. The support beam for the 3/4" plastic base shifted causing the bottom to drop. The beam was re positioned, and the bottom was installed and screwed into place this time. The coal was replaced, and the whole project took about a half hour. The same day, three of us placed 21 commemorative pavers in the walkway in front of our miners' memorial.

I have been retired for almost a year and a half, and keep busy with home projects, including painting the house exterior. My wife and I watch our grand daughter usually 3 days a week, and I cut grass and maintain the grounds at my church. I have some more inside projects including replacing the basement stair treads and adding risers, and floor tile replacement in one side of the basement. I'm also debating on whether or not I should eliminate an unused shower in the basement bathroom.

Sean, I am glad it is going so well.  My wife was a registered nurse at an outpatient dialysis center, did emergency treatments at the hospital, and wound up as head nurse at a small satellite branch outpatient center before our now adult children were born.  Her dad also had to go on dialysis the last couple years of his long life.  Many long term patients became almost like family to her.  I remember how exciting it was for a long time dialysis patient to finally get a transplant!! 

Your plans for the layout sound great!!!

One of my projects was to come up with a Yard Light that was better (in my estimation) than some of the ones being sold now or sold in the past. I 'm looking for something that looks like it fits in on the layout and serves the purpose of actually lighting an area. The other criteria was that I could make it on the 3D printer. What I came up with was a Yard Light which does not look like it belongs in the 40's but I think fits in with my layout. My 1st iteration was ok but a little more like a spotlight than what I wanted.  I am very pleased with the 2nd iteration and developed 4 different styles as shown here in a computer rendering:

New Style Yard Assortment_1 IMG_4757IMG_4740_clos

6-6 1/2" in length and mounted with break away pins for when it gets in the way of that elbow.

Also 2 different LEDs, Warm and COOL White

As the covid numbers increase nationally and even though the vaccine is on the horizon, it appears that I still need another covid project to get through to the new normal. This week I received two eBay purchases: a K-line heavyweight observation and a Lionel heavyweight combined. Both cars will be detailed, repainted and assigned to the Duluth Missabe & Iron Range Railroad. The Canadian National Railroad purchased the DM&IRR in 2004, but the Lake Superior RR Museum has preserved both the Northland business car and the W-24 combined as part of their collection. The North Shore Scenic Railroad often operate these cars during special events.

This project is inspired by the fact that I’m a fan of the DM&IRR, the LSRRM is one of my happy places and I have some extra sitting passenger figures that need a place to sit.   I thought it only fitting that I add these two cars to my layout.   The K-Line car has interior detail but it will need some modification and the combined has silhouette windows so I will have to fabricate the interior setting and add clear window glazing.   I’m looking forward to this respite and diversion from reality!

Dave, your trolley turned out looking great! I have all the faith in you that your next 2 cars will also make the mark!

Mark, I am glad you were able to get all the wire drops connected. Might give you a little break from crawling under the table! I to am in under the direction of the decorating supervisor. Today is outside lights! LOL

One track Mind, I hope you post photos when your done!

Covid Project #2 update:

My current project is modeling two cars now owned by the Lake Superior Railroad Museum and operated on the North Shore Scenic R, Duluth, Minnesota.

A few months ago, I purchased a Kline Southern heavyweight observation car and a Lionel Pullman combined to help start this project.  I’m currently detailing and converting the observation car to the “Northland,” a former DM&IRR business car.   

The Northland has required some extensive modifications.   The beauty of 3-rail is that I believe that most of us are not rivet counters so we have more latitude when it comes to a pure prototypical restoration - we operate on 3-rails - proof enough!     With that said, the window configuration is not perfect, but I did need to modify the roof contour.   I cut, shaped and epoxied a piece of basswood to fill-in the right side of the clearstory roof on the car.   After using sparkling compound, several coats of poly, and lots of find sanding, I believe I have accomplished my goal.   I cut some narrow strips from note card stock to serve as seam bands.   The roof is currently in primer awaiting an enamel black matte finish.    The rest is in a green primer awaiting delivery of Pullman green finish coat.   I will custom print appropriate decals as I was able to purchase and add the correct font to my computer.   

I am modifying the “Northland” as a business car, not per original plan, but wanted to include the solarium, which is ending up a bit more prototypical.  I’m also in the process of adding two state rooms, formal dinning area and kitchen.   It’s a work in process but wanted to share some progress.   I also added the red tail-end marker light to the roof.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas, received stockings full of trins and are now looking forward to a much better New Year!

Cheers, Dave  

Picture progress of Northland as of 12/28/20:

Adding a shelf to the backside of the basement ceiling drop that covers the heating vents.  Will be visible to those standing behind the bar or a nice surprise to those sitting at the bar who can see it reflected through the mirror.

Will be 18 feet. Using prime select pine 2x4 for lightweight strength. Anchored using hidden lag bolts through the board into the box out support framework.  Bolt heads will then be hidden by a end cap trim piece for a true "floating" shelf.  I'll paint white then screw down some lengths of 40" Atlas O track.

Here's an early eyeball viability check...

WITZ 41 Looking good!  I have something similar, although our older daughter actually had the idea, I got her started, then she did the rest when the train room was her art studio before she married and moved out.  It is much deeper than I need, but worked for her.  I do have plans to put in a raised section along the back half to show off two tracks of trains.

I plan to get re-motivated to sell off a good portion of my personal collection (modern "O", almost exclusively new-in-the-box items), while simultaneously continuing to sell a large "O" (mostly post-war & a little MPC-era) & HO collection that I purchased several years ago...a project I started back near the beginning of the pandemic, but then put on hold around May as "train season" winded down.

Working from home for a good portion of the pandemic has given me ample time to make some big decisions as to where I'm headed with this great hobby...now I need to execute the plan and purge, purge, purge!  I've once again begun the process of taking photos of items I'm going to sell (starting with locomotives), but it's been a bit of a slow-go so far with the Holidays and life's regular interruptions.  I'm a big believer in taking/posting good photos if you want to sell something...so yes, I know, I do this to myself...LOL!

I'm hoping to post some of my personal items for sale here on the Forum soon--to give fellow members an opportunity first before listing them elsewhere...while the post-war stuff will continue to be listed on that Big auction site as I've had pretty good luck there.  Not sure what to do with the HO stuff...that will probably be last on my priority list.  Stay tuned...

Been adding an additional module and a  new branch line.  Still hammering away at a winding 3 rail valley branch line being added deep below the main 2 rail layout.  The return loops are in and wired, all the Homasote is in spackled, sanded and just now painted.  Most of the GG & Atlas track   & Ross turnouts are pre fitted or in place waiting for a wrap up.

This may finally be the last bit of benchwork possible in the train room unless I poke a hole to the back yard...

Today marks the inaugural run of my DM&IRR three car tourist special!.    Four Covid Projects completed except for a mars light simulator instillation for the Northland tail-end light.   Still waiting for a parts shipment from Digi-Key Electronics.    Each received a full color make over, overhead lighting,, interior & exterior detailing per prototype and loads of tourists.   The three cars (Northland, W24 & coach #33) are currently maintained and operated by the Lake Superior RR Museum and North Shore Science RR - Duluth, MN.   Todays special was powered by #1121 which was a pre-covid earlier project that was model after #332 which often pulls a similar consist during the tourist season.    You can ride trolley #78 at the Minnesota Transportation Museum, Jackson Street Roundhouse in the Twin Cities.

Cheers, Dave
