Johnsons Service Back Yard Train

Each Drawing is Professionally Rendered using state of the art computer software! These are heavily detailed. Volume Three includes these drawings:
CB&Q Caboose This is a Narrow Gauge late 1800s wooden 2 axle caboose
"T" style Passenger Riding Car This six foot car will fit into the back of a pickup truck; a modified "T" passenger car with a drop center.
3-in-1 Car A flat car, riding car and box car all in one. There are several variations here you can use to built this combination car, I have drawn this design using mostly steel in fabricating the flat car, “T” passenger car and box car.
Plywood Gondola A simple design that can haul passengers or gravel with equal ease.
Side Door Wooden Caboose A narrow gauge side door wooden caboose from 1880s.
Corrugated steel boxcar This is a design that one car company used between 1900 and WWI. I ordered some steel from a washboard outfit and came up with this model.
Covered bridge I needed to shoot over a dip in the ground and make a slight curve. This will be fun having this covered bridge in that location for both the engineer and passengers.
Grade Crossing How to build a grade crossing that will handle large truck loading any time of the year.
Engineer's Car For those who need a two truck engineer's car.
Low Side Gondola Low Sided Gon Cars were used on short lines where they used manpower to shovel coal from the ground into the gon car and then from the gon car into the tender. Used this way before the Depression.
2 Mystery Switches A 50' and 60' radius wiggle switch with #6 frogs.
Oyster Car Stillwell Oyster Cars were used to carry live oysters from the Gulf to Kansas City, MO.
3 Coupler Pocket Designs I needed to allow my cars go through some of my tight track radii, here are several drawings for building coupler pockets.

Who will love this CD?
This book CD is great for those of us that love to work with our hands. You may have been searching for scaled drawings to build those large ride on train cars and other items. Drawings like that are very tough to find. This CD is what you've been searching for. Author and retired CAD (computer aided design) instructor Laurence Johnson has been designing and building 1/8 scale railroad equipment for his miniature railroad for years. Laurence starts buy creating a detailed scale drawing for every project with great results.

Slightly More Advanced.
Generally, these plans are slightly more advanced that vol. 1 or vol. 2. To build these models you will need wood working skills and shop equipment such as saws, drill presses, etc. Many drawings require light wire welding or stick welding. These are not step by step instructions but measured drawings that you can follow to produce some great scale models with as much detail or as little detail as you want.
