Meanwhile certain members of this club continue to support Stewart Hobbies in their project to produce a Southern Pacific version of the VO-1000 diesel in HO scale. But probably the best achievement of the club was to help find a replacement headlight lens for the Los Angeles Railway pre-war PCC car at the Orange Empire Railway Museum. This lens had been damaged in an April collision at the museum and was unavailable. But the replacement should be at the Museum by the time you read this. So if you have any interest in the fun of operating from a live overhead wire, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Dues are very low and rules are minimal.
The club wants to hear from you. Contained below are some of the photos of the investment casting of the Orr special work, which may be a subject of a future article in the Times or a lesson in the schoolhouse. Trolleyville took extensive notes and photos of the process so if there is enough interest in this process, we could develop an entire article for a future issue of the Times. George Huckaby - Anyone who is participating in HO scale traction has heard of Orr Switches and Crossings for street trackage. Richard and his wife, Martha Ann, both shown below, have been in the business of providing these items, commonly called special work in the industry, since 1971.
