Who’s parts are these?

Post by makinsmoke »

Does anyone recognize these throttle and reversing lever assemblies? Are they supplier parts or perhaps custom made?

Tks,
Brian

Are you asking whether these are from outside suppliers or from the locomotive builders. As far as I know, it's the builders. I have a prototype Alco assembly drawing of the throttle lever arrangement with dimensions for the USATC Consolidations. It's similar, but not identical.

Hi Dick,
I was wondering if they were sold by any of our suppliers to the hobby.

Thank you,
Brian

Ok, just looked up the prototype, T&NO C-9 some built by Alco. I’m interested in what you might have Dick.

Puzzled as to how one would make those compound curves and such.

Send a note with your email address.

Most of the parts are forged. That may mean complex shaping with different thicknesses and slots on a drop hammer, or just bent from bar stock.

Hi Dick,
These parts are on a 1-1/2” scale Consolidation. They sure look nice. I was wondering how to go about replicating them.

I’ll send you a note with my email.

Thanks,
Brian
