Hi Did you try ARHS (Anthracite Railroads Historical Society)? I purchased a
drawing from them. Mine has alot of blue in it, making hard to read. It doesn't
show where the tie downs would be. Try contacting Bud Rindfleisch. He's in the
group, he might have a better drawing.

I've decided to model the L&N, but I can't bring myself to paint my LV
locomotives. I have 4 RS11s, 3 U23Bs, 2 C628s...all factory painted Atlas, all
red. I also have 2 C420s in the yellow jacket scheme, also factory painted
Atlas..and 2 LifeLike RS2s, factory painted in the old Cornell red with black
stripes. Anyone have other shells to trade?

Tim -

Little to nothing, to my knowledge at least, has been said about this branch. I
suggest asking on the Railfan.net LV forums where there are ex-LV employees that
may have worked the branch in later years.

RAH

The ARHS did an article on the LV and DL&W gons. Check their website for back
issues.

RAH

There has been some recent discussion on the Atlas Forum about cement gons.
During on of my visits to this group and having a nose through the phots and
files I noted a gon with six cement cannisters. Does anyone know where one can
find the lettering guide for these cannisters as they will become the first new
wagons for my non PRR fleet.

Can anyone tell me about any books or reference sites that might give me a
little information about the LVRR Musconetcong Branch? I found a two sentence
mention in Mike Bednar's New York Division book. I'm trying to represent this
area in an HO layout. Thanks.

building O Scale models of L.V. 50' Double Door boxcars (based on the Pecos
River Brass plastic cars) and also the 52'6" gondolas made by Atlas.
       Question:  Is there an out-of-the-bottle paint color that I can use the
the freight car red used on these cars ca. 1960?  Any paint will do as I can
work in both enamels and acrylics.  Also need a match for the late-era green
used on freight cars.

8-25-2009

The Lehigh Valley had an 3.85 mile branch line running from Ricketts,
PA to Ganoga Lake.  Does anyone know anything about the operation of
this branch.  There is a picture of the Ganoga Station, a log structure
in several publications which indicates that there were passenger
trains on the branch.  There was a large hotel by the lake.  The map I
have is a very early map of the Lehigh Valley's Harvey Lake branch from
Port Bowkley to Bernice, Pa.  This branch became the Bowman Creek
branch.  If any one has any information on the passenger operations and
industries located along the line I would be very greatful for the
info.  I am also wondering if there was a wye or turntable at the end
of the line or did the locomotives go forward one way and back up the
other way?

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Joel Holmes

Al,

Just a quick thought.... Ted Culotta. Google him and get as much from him
(websites, books, articles in RR Model Craftsman, etc. as you can. But you
probably already knew that.

Hi Phil,

Do not have the time to read you Home Pages to-day but will spend some time
there to-morrow. I am looking for info on Locos and rolling stock. Especially
rolling stock that ran on the PRR which I guess covered most of it. I am not a
river counter but when it comes to basic detail like end panels and sill
configuration which really stand out that will need to change. If I have to
change a lot to get what I want then I will make one good one and then cast a

Hi Folks,
Just a short note to introduce myself.

I model the Pennsylvania Railroad in N Scale and in the context of learning more
about that road I happened upon info that the PRR was involved with the Lehigh
Valley Railroad and at some time had assigned a number of RS11's to the LV. I
have seen photos in one the the Morning Sun PRR Diesel years books of one of
those diesels on Pennsy metal for servicing.

Being very one eyed Pennsy for many years I restricted my fleet to purely
Pennsy. Not quite but there is not enough variety in my freight car roster to
make it look prototypical. I have a number of GN vehicles and some Reading, B&M,
RF&P, SCL, ACL, C&O and low and behold only two LV cars. One is a green car
while the other is a mineral red car. Haven't looked at them thoroughly yet to
determine if they are real or just MTL look a likes. Once I have established
their credentials that will determine if they stay or go.

While my Pennsy modelling will continue I will now start on my "Other Roads
Roster" in ernst and if I cannot get what I want I will make it.
I consider myself to be a modeller not a plastic collector or cheque book
modeller. Not much stays as it was made.

Don't worry about my spelling as that is the way it is done here. Modelling is
spelt with 2 Ls and check book is spelt cheque.


I have the ability to cast in urethane as well as draw for etching and have been
modelling now for the past 39 years. Just the other day I submitted my first
drawing for etching and it worked beautifully. Not bad for a Geriatric.

The other part of my bit is that I live in Warwick, Australia and I find the
internet has expanded my knowledge quite a lot. I have now added the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Modeler site to my favorites bookmark for as much reference I
can get. I gather there will be a plethora of photos on the RR Pictures Archive
as well. I have also found that I have been able to join in with some of the
debates as well as provide information on modelling techniques.

No doubt when I strike a problem I cannot seem to solve I may ask someone for
some help and if I can reciprocate just call. So there it is my first LV-RR post
and I look forward to many more in the future.

What I do for a day time job is run and manufacture and organize product for
www.arkits.com . Modelling the PRR in N Scale give me an out from the Australian
scene.

Does anyone know what color the original scheme for the 1939 Asa
Packer on K-3 Pacific 2022.  I suspect that it was either orange or
yellow and black.  I do not know what shade the colors were.  If anyone
know the colors of the Asa Packer please let me know.  I am getting
ready to paint the 2022 and need to know what color to use.  Thank you
for any help you may have.  Joel Holmes

My name is Tim Fahey and I'm a new member of the group. I working on the
plans for my first HO railroad. It will be based loosely upon the LVRR.
My wife grew up in the paper mill town of Hughesville, NJ. Her uncle was
an engineer for the LVRR and used to work the route that included the
paper mill. My layout will be based upon that mill and the general area.
I'm most interested in any information about train activity in and
around Hughesville. I'm also interested in general historical info about
the LVRR that would pertain to the mid-1950s. Thanks.

Hi Bud;
Nice work on the Osgood car...I bashed a few of these many years ago. You are
correct, they do need a bit more detail but, look good overall.
Are the piggyback flats, S scale as well? Detail on those cars and trailers are
superb!

I want to change out the snowplows on my 3 Atlas HO Scale U23B's with Detail
West Plows.  Which plow would be the best match?  Front/Rear?  I have plow 235
which looks ok, but I want to get other LV Modelers opinions.

Thanks,

Matt
