Hi, I'm a newbie to trains.com and I have read a number of interesting posts that tell me you may be a great resource. Basically, what I need are plans or copies of articles on scratch-building a GE-IR-Alco Boxcab diesel or any other boxcab diesel switcher for that mater. I know there was a two part article in the April & May 1956 Model Railroader for a start. There have also been a few articles in RMC in the past (way past). Where, short of the Library of Congress, can I get copies of those articles. I know that MDC issued a Boxcab Diesel kit in HO because I bought one, but what I want is an N Scale Boxcab. Do any of you know of anyone who made a kit or even a finished boxcab locomotive in N Scale? Has anyone scratch-built or kit-bashed a boxcab in N scale. What I hope to do is just create the shell and drop it on, for example, an F3B chassis or an early switcher chassis or anything else that is approximately the correct size. It does not have to be an exact copy down to the last rivet. I know it should be, but I am 67 years old and only have another 25 years or so to go };-}}. Help, help, Chuck Howerton in Sequim Washington.
