I tried the new color theme and had to switch back to the default. It was starting to hurt my eyes. I like the default color scheme.

the current version is a mono-chromatic version of these...

I like the color version of the headlights. Very nice.

Work and Events / WW&F No. 52 - Official Work Thread

« on: November 18, 2008, 06:50:25 PM »

I am considering building an On2 model of #52 and forgot to get some measurements when I was at the Museum last year. I was having so much fun, I forgot.

I searched the WW&F web site and Discussion Forum, but could not find any information.

Does anyone happen to know the distance between the axles? Some pictures I have indicate it may be in the 30" to 36" range? Anyone also happen to know any other specs for #52, like length, width, height?

Hopefully I'll get back to the Museum in the next year or two to get some detailed measurements, but right now a trip from Texas back to Maine does not look promising.

Thanks for any help.

Wow. 2,500 miles of 2 foot track. I just moved Australia to the top of my places to visit before I die list.

Nice picture of a Plasser GWS 75 spot tamper about 2/3 of the way down the page.

Thanks for pointing it out. Very interesting web site.

Mike,

My computer is not showing any pictures.  Do you have any idea what the problem may be?

Bernie

Is it just the WWF Forum site or other sites? If you are using Internet Explorer there is an option to not show pictures. Under Tools > Internet Options > Advanced is an option to Show Pictures that should be checked.

Hope this helps.

The Original W&Q and WW&F: 1894-1933 / Re: WW&F on Google Earth

Hmm,
 I just tried the link on the website and got a file not found error. If I copy the above link and paste the link into Google Maps it worked OK. The Number= is different in the URL's. Number=1213261 above vs. Number=945290 on the Website link. Or did I do something wrong?

These should also be found somewhere on the website.
