Once again, looking for objects...

[frogpipe]

looking at period photos, I see that I will need some wheel sets and bogies for scenery, and (Here's what I need help locating) a locomotive frame. It was a Richmond 4-4-0 American, sitting with it's boiler and cab removed (so drivers, bogie and frame).

I tried searching but turned up nothing (search seems to leave a LOT to be desired in the DLS - something I recall being the case back in 2005 too...)

For those who might have it, the picture in question appears on page 145 of Hilton's "The Ma & Pa" (2nd Rev) - #4 is juuuust visible through the brush in the lower right corner of the photo.

(BTW, now that I've taken the time to reletter Subpar Productions 4-4-0 Modern Baldwin as a close facsimily of M & Pa #6, is there a Richmond 4-4-0 American out there for Trainz that I've overlooked?)

I haven't seen any 4-4-0 scenery items specifically, but for wheels at least I do know there is a scrap set of six locomotive wheels called 'scrap wheels' by cmburgess (kuid2:142268:902:1) which you could always use by hiding the third pair in a conveniently placed box or similar item next to it.

Klinger also produced a single locomotive wheel set simply called 'scrap wheel' (kuid:119493:1390) which you could just add a pair of instead and which might be a better choice than the previous wheel set item. But either one should be suitable for your needs.

I don't know very much about US locos, but could it have been one of whecsailor's rusty old End of the line series?

Try kuids 67261:29706/7/8 & 9

Make sure you tick UTC on the DLS...

Will do, thanks for the leads!
