If you want to have more "fun" go to the NorthEast rails steam photo spread , PRR and RDG swapped those Dolphin trucks around on a lot of diff.

Proto photos in the same catalog show a PRR E-6 Atlantic with those trucks under the tender.

I've fixed a couple of these by screwing a metal 2-56 screw into the hole in the tender, and cutting of the head and any surplus Sun, 07 Feb 2010 00:06:22 GMT ron plyler http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yardbirdtrains/message/6242 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yardbirdtrains/message/6242 If you go to Bowser's web page, under misc, under tender trucks, this looks a little like 2988 NYC tender truck. I have never seen this exact truck.

I was maybe mistaken about that name. Whatever the name of the attached tuck pix is Fri, 05 Feb 2010 21:21:27 GMT Robert http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yardbirdtrains/message/6240 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yardbirdtrains/message/6240 Could you send more instructions on how you do this? The pins must fit the bar from the engine and make electrical contact. Thanks, Robert From: Long95209 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 19:19:43 GMT Long95209 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yardbirdtrains/message/6239 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yardbirdtrains/message/6239 I have a crude fix that I've used in place of the AHM/RivRossi pins . Drill and tap out the hole conver to SAE screws , washers , and nuts . Measure the hole Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:29:08 GMT Yardbird Classic Trains http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yardbirdtrains/message/6238 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yardbirdtrains/message/6238 Pawal, Sounds like a great project. I would like to see a pic of it if you could send one. The heavy weathering is probably more realistic on one used like Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:26:03 GMT Robert Driggers http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yardbirdtrains/message/6237 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yardbirdtrains/message/6237 This is the pin(screw) on the tender. It has a nut that holds it on to the tender. I have several of the nuts but need the pin(screw) Need for the Heavy Fri, 05 Feb 2010 14:37:56 GMT john Brazaitis http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yardbirdtrains/message/6236 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yardbirdtrains/message/6236 Robert: Do you mean the pin on the tender to which the engine drawbar attaches? Most of the Rivarossi engines have this arrangement. To ask another way, what Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:28:49 GMT Robert Driggers http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yardbirdtrains/message/6235 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yardbirdtrains/message/6235 Need several drawbar screws for Rivarossi tenders.
