I’m in the process of rebuilding two Hartland Mack switchers for future trade show demos. I’m replacing the frosted windows with clear plastic. Now being able to see the interior I’d like to make it look somewhat prototypical. I’ve just began to look for photos and drawings for these little switchers, however, in the mean time, does any one on this group know of any interior drawings or photos for the Mack switchers? Any help will be greatly appreciated and if you want to contact me off list my e-mail is mail@kadee.com.
Thanks, I wrote a letter to them two weks ago, but no response yet. I’m still hoping they come up with something soon. If you have a contact and e-mail address I’d appreciate it.
I thought it might give a better concept of the interors and one can use modelers lisance to get what they need from them. Took the pics, now to get my computer to play nice with the internet…
Regardless, if the switchers are not Macks we’d like some photos. Nothing has come up yet so I might be forced to build my own interior and any ideas I could get from other switchers will help. Thanks.
I finally received an e-mail from the Mack Truck museum. They do not have any information on the interior but a couple of photos that show the loco with the door open just enough to see a few details. They said it was a pretty sparce interior and the photo indicate that. They unfortunate do not have one of these Mack switchers in their collection but do have some photos and drigrams.
I was suggesting photobucket. It has worked fine for me for quite some time now. …oh, and my “I guess not” comment was not aimed toward you, it was aimed at myself. I had asked the question about the little Mack switcher I posted a pic of and as usual no one responded. I have detailed pics of the interior, but since no onw answered, I can only assume no one wants to see them.
No interior picture but this is what I did with mine to detail it. It now has a simple control stand behind the bonnet at each end of the cab. Bit like a tram controller.
