Beeman's Railcraft. This is a scan from the Railcraft section of a pre-ware Model Railroad Shop (Dunellen, NJ) catalog.



Your model is as nice as any I have seen of these. They are tinplate and most you see have a good amount of corrosion.

I have one of those. I shot it with red lead to inhibit corrosion.

thanks guys really appreciate the picture. now if I can find a clean shot will make decals for it.

Looks just like one I was bidding on recently on eBay,

yup...
Bob

I have a kit, actually I have 3 of them. One has Railcraft decals and a picture (and a blueprint dated 1940). Bob, do you want to make your decals as a copy of the Railcraft decals, or are you going for accuracy to the prototype? I will loan you whatever you want, Rufus, we can talk. Also, I would like to see the Ebay listing. Does anyone have pictures of the prototype?

Yes. Please do.

could you post pic of decals?
Bob

Thanks for posting up all the photos and information!

Stephen will have to provide a scan of the decals..........I'd like that as well. And, if you are going to make or get some made, I'd be interested in acquiring a set or 2.

I really like this one. Concentration...remote shutter...and ignoring the viewfinder completely.
Maybe that's part of the concentration....

here is a pic of the decals Steve
