kbkchooch, I have H9 with a brass frame the that I put a Helix Humper in. I found the the HH just falls in place, no need for filing anything. I however put the decoder(minus sound) in the tender. I

A number of years ago I bought and rat holed a pair of Mantua Logger Engine Kits. I plan to build one of them this winter. Has anyone in the group built these loggers before and, if so, what was your

Hi Jeff, Yes, I still have it, but alas, I never finished it. The frame is indeed very rugged. I am stalled on it, mostly because I am building a layout. Other shorter projects keep getting in the way

If that cross brace was put in place with silver solder, I would think it would be perfectly OK due to the extra strength of silver solder. I once had a pair of glasses that kept coming apart so I

Vic, Interesting build which, no doubt, resulted in a super rigid and rugged frame! Do you still have the locomotive? Scratch building a loco is the Everest of the "craftsman" facet of the model

Hi Jeff,These posts may almost be more suitable to the Brasslocobuilder groupe. :o) I also agree that a flat cross brace soldered to the frame the way they do is not the best practice. I suspect it

I have had a few Bowser brass frame locos. The first one that I acquired a while back (second hand) was an L-1. Don't know when it was first sold by Bowser but it had a Penn Line lead boiler with it

Hey Guys Added some stuff to the 4 sale folder. Hustler NOS PL GG-1 Set, Running Several different boilers and shells Thanks, Gareth

According to the last Bowser parts and repair manual, even up until the end of production, Bowser still used the brass frame on some of their locos, including the H-9. They went back to a diecast

For a short period of time Bowser produced these brass framed 2-80's. ?I had one at one time, but just ran the pittman motor in it. ?I've also seen a 4-6-2 K$ with a brass frame, and believe other

Thanks a bunch gang! I just emailed my LHS and told them to go ahead and get the Humper kit for it. I'm sure it will be ok.

I bought my first Bowser kit (H-9) in the 80's which had the brass frame. I went all out and filed off any cast on details (including the smoke stack) and then added lost wax details and piping. When

Hello list, ? I had a little extra time this morning before work and I went through my photos.? I could not find one of the work I did on the Bowser H9s chassis, but I did have (previously posted)

Hello list, ? I've installed DCC (but not sound) in a Bowser H9s that I modified to represent surviving H10s 7688.? I have to go to work in just a bit, but I'll post pictures after work today. ?

About the frame: Penn Line H9’s only used die cast frames. There were a bunch left over after the Penn Line went out of business that Bowser continued to use. Bowser elected to machine brass frames

I can't say for sure if the Helix Humper will work, but I bet it does. Bowser has had both cast metal and fabricated brass frames. I have a K-4 that I got about 20 years ago or so and it is a

Just possibly it's a PennLine engine? My 2c worth... Fred Hultberg(resident etching wizard, Fotocut)
