    Using 27 frame for a 1911 project?

    Good questions: there are several narrow gauge (3’) tourist railroads in Colorado that allow historic railcars during "rail fests" (special events for nuts like myself that enjoy steam railroading), NORCOA sanctioned runs (North America Rail Car Operators Association), and the Colorado Railroad...

    Using 27 frame for a 1911 project?

    Thank you for the dimensions - they will help immensely. Our work session this weekend was a success. We were able to weld up all the various holes not related to our needs, remove the rear cross member, finish fabrication/modifications to our late teens rear cross member needing to be fitted...

    Using 27 frame for a 1911 project?

    Thanks for the photos - especially the views of the rear cross member. I've seen the T railcar(s) at the Sierra Railway Museum in Jamestown, CA - they did a nice job on those. I took quite a few photos when I visited them this past summer. I've also been talking to Jeff at the Hawaii Railroad...

    Using 27 frame for a 1911 project?

    I feel the same about the steering column not looking quite right without a wheel; however I'm trying to stay faithful to the prototype. My main concern about the steering column is if the railcar stops suddenly I might get impaled. Nice Porter loco photo.

    Using 27 frame for a 1911 project?

    Thank you for the early frame drawing - that will prove most useful. I’ll go ahead with the 27 frame, and cross reference it with the early frame drawing and original parts I have. The rear cross member will be cut off this weekend and welded in its new location. Since the original railcar...

    Using 27 frame for a 1911 project?

    I thought as much. However I should give a little more background on what we are doing. We are re-creating a 1911 narrow gauge railcar. Since the wheelbase on this railcar was changed from the standard car to a 5'-4" wheel base the rear cross member needs to be cut out and moved forward 18"...

    Using 27 frame for a 1911 project?

    I have a very nice 1927 frame I'm considering using for a recreation of a 1911 T. Without going into originality issues I would like to ask if I am asking for problems when installing mechanical items. Is a 1927 frame the same basic dimension as an early one? Thank you everyone for your time and...
