The 2-8-2 Mikado “Mike” is Aristo-Craft’s latest addition to its line of G Scale steam locomotives. Built on the new four- axle, ball- bearing- equipped power truck, the Mikado has an all-new motor block featuring four new patent-pending gearboxes. The gearboxes are driven by a single large can motor equipped with its own cooling fan. There are also three flywheels within the motor block, one between each gearbox. Like the highly successful SD45 diesel, each driver axle has its own gearbox for added pulling strength and reliability. By transferring power to all eight drive wheels, designers were able to give the side rods and valve gear more realistic proportions because they’re strictly for appearance; this also reduces maintenance needs. And since all drivers pick up electrical power from the rails, the “Mike” performs as well as any Aristo-Craft diesel. New design, authentic detail and plenty of features make this new Mikado a must-have for any G Scale enthusiast. The new Mikado includes: • Operating smoke unit (SD45 type) with smokestack • Operating front headlight • Operating marker/classification lights • Moveable cab side windows • Blackened solid brass handrails • Boiler and cab interior detail Choose from a variety of roadnames, each with a Vanderbilt or Pacific tender depending on roadname, plus undecorated models. v o l u m e t w o , n u m b e r o n e a supplement to walthers ho, n&z and big trains reference books Whether it’s the towering buildings or the eerie glow of the night sky, a steel works is one of the most fascinating industries on earth.

It takes Plentyof Water to Runa Steam-EraRailroadFrom the days of the earlieststeam locomotives, water tankshave been an important part of therailroad scene. At one time,everyone knew what these iconsof the steam era were for—not justrailroaders and enthusiasts. Eventelevision used one in the openingcredits of a popular show called“Petticoat Junction.” Two newBuilt-up water tanks—one in HO,the other in N Scale—will helpyou add steam-era authenticity toyour pike in minutes.

A Vintage Tank for any HO PikeBefore 1900, locomotives weresmall and had a limited watercapacity, so small tanks weresufficient. As larger locomotivescame along, larger tanks did too.Wood water tanks peaked at about50,000 gallons; after the 1920s,larger steel tanks replaced theirsmaller wood counterparts atcertain locations. Along branchesand secondary lines, large woodtanks lasted until the end of steam,and a handful still stand abandonedor serving other purposes.

The new Cornerstone Series®

Built-up Wood Water Tank is atypical 50,000-gallon tank,making it suitable for layouts setbetween 1900 and the late 1950s.Details include a frost box underits center (this enclosureprotected the supply pipe fromfreezing), a base with concretefootings, a positionable spout andrealistic water level markings. For

added authenticity, the tanks arecolored to complement otherCornerstone Series Built-uprailroad structures.

A New Tank in N ScaleBy the 1920s, plate steel becamecheap enough for use on watertanks. With new, larger steamlocomotives coming into service,low-maintenance steel tanksoffered higher capacity forincreased water needs. They werealso versatile because they couldbe placed in a central location

and supply locomotives via watercolumns (standpipes) connectedto underground piping. This wasespecially handy in crampedspaces near major terminals andservicing facilities.

On your layout, the Steel WaterTank brings this same authenticityto any post-1920s servicing scene.With its massive, riveted-steelbody and latticework supports, itadds a heavy-industrial look alongyour tracks. Because of theirdurability, many of these venerabletanks still supply water formaintenance crews and shops,making the model a natural onmodern layouts too. The new NScale Built-up model includes twowater columns and, as a bonus, anoil column. Oil columns wereusually placed near water columns,but were fed by separate tanks.

The Steel Water Tank is alsoavailable in HO and O Scales as aCornerstone Series kit thatincludes the tank plus a pair ofwater columns. ■

Take theMorning TrainEach day, commuters across the

continent takepassengertrains to theirjobs “in thecity.” Fromthe hugemetro regionsof Chicago,Los Angelesand NewYork, tosmaller citieslike SanDiego andeven tinyBurlington,Vermont,

fast, frequent trains get thetraveling public to work relaxedand on time. The morning andafternoon rush hours, with heavyrail traffic on short headways,make a trip to trackside exciting

even for the most casual railfan.With plenty of accurate modelsavailable from Walthers and othermanufacturers, commuteroperations can be just as excitingon your layout.

Enjoy the View from AboveThe new Walthers Pullman-Standard BilevelCommuterCoaches and CabCars bring thehustle and bustleof commuterservice to yourrailroad.Introduced in the late-1950s,these sleek, comfortable carsreplaced aging heavyweights andlured passengers back to severalrailroads’ Chicagoland commutertrains. The first Chicago & NorthWestern commuter bilevels to uselocomotive-supplied electric heat(head-end power or HEP), largerwindows and cab cars were

patterned after steam-heatedbilevels delivered in the mid-1950s. Trains no longer requiredturning and HEP didn’t freeze upin the winter; both features werebig money savers. The CNWfleet, along with 1960s-era RockIsland-owned cars, went to the

Regional Transportation Authorityin the 1980s; successor Metra stilloperates many of the cars today.CNW’s long-distance bilevelswere acquired by Amtrak® in theearly 1970s and ran on medium-distance runs from Chicago untilthe early 1990s. Recently, severalex-CNW cars moved on to touristrailroads and lease fleets.

Start Commuter Service on your PikeTrains using these cars typicallyrange in length from three toeight cars, with a locomotive atone end and a cab car at the other.Cab cars face toward the city so

locomotive exhaust is minimizedunder the big city trainsheds. Thetrains operate push-pull style;they are not normally turned.Before the 1980s, locomotiveswere EMD E and F units; theywere replaced by F40PHs in

several variations. For service onyour layout, Walthers makes theTrainline® F40PH; E and F unitsare available from a variety ofmanufacturers.

Walthers ready-to-run Pullman-Standard Bilevel Commuter Carsfeature full interiors, flush-fittingtinted windows, wire grab irons,car number decals and factory-installed electrical pickups for usewith the Bilevel Commuter CarLighting Kit (#933-1058, $10.98,sold separately).

Commuter Trains where Bilevels Dare Not TreadIn eastern cities where overheadand tunnel clearances won’t allowbilevels to operate, many push-pull trains are equipped withBombardier-built single-levelcoaches and cab cars. Like theChicago trains, locomotives faceaway from the downtown depots.

A few operators of the carsinclude NJ Transit, AMT inMontreal, and Metro-North inNew York,among others.Amtrak® alsooperates itsHorizon Fleetlong-distanceversions ofthe 1960s-design cars.

Locomotives on these easterntrains range from aging EMDFL9s, GP40Ps and GE U34CHsto modern EMD F40PHs,F59PHIs, GE P32DMs and ABBALP-44 electrics.

Add Pennsy Flavor to any pre-1960s Passenger TrainThe “Standard Railroad of theWorld,” as the PennsylvaniaRailroad was called, was anythingbut standard. Off-the-shelflocomotives and rolling stock justweren’t good enough; the Pennsyhad to do things its own way. Oneexample of the PRR’s unique,home-built cars was the R50BExpress Reefer.

In 1929 the Pennsy rolled out 550class R50B Express Refrigeratorcars. These chunky cars featuredriveted sides, a curved roofline,heavy cast door hinges andPennsy’s own 2D-P5 trucks. They didn’t look anything like

typical steel RailwayExpress Agency express reefersused by other railroads. TheR50Bs were PRR’s contributionto the Railway Express Agency(REA) pool. They operated notonly on the PRR, but also on

connecting railroads’ passengertrains as late as 1968. Sightings inLos Angeles, Seattle and, asshown in the accompanying“Typical Consist,” Kansas City,were commonplace.

R50Bs seldom ran on premiertrains like the Super Chief or theEmpire Builder; they usuallyserved on workhorse passengertrains that handled mail andexpress. The trains worked keystations along their routes,picking up and dropping carsalong the way. Local freight trainshandled the cars between thestations, produce packing houses

and cold storage facilities.

On yourlayout, theseoperations give you theopportunity to turn a passengertrain into a working train that

switches out cars at major stationsalong the line.

The Walthers HO models capturethe rugged look of the prototype.They come equipped withaccurate 2D-P5 four-wheel trucksfeaturing metal sideframes andblackened 36" metal wheelsets.Applied details include aroofwalk, door latch bars andladders. The body has molded-indrill starter points to make addingthe supplied grab irons easy. ■
