Jacq's Logging Project Discussion

[Tom Neeson]

Jacq - This may be way off topic, and I may need to go stand in Russ' corner but...

I've been looking for the source of your Tom Waits quote. He's one of my favorites, but I can't remember hearing these words before:

"What's he building in there? What the hell is he building in there?
He has subscriptions to those magazines...
He never waves when he goes by
He's hiding something from the rest of us..." -Tom Waits

Carlo

It's from "Mule Variations", sort of a spoken word piece, very cool and creepy.

(Hey, I knew something!)

As an ex oil man thanks Marc for the pictures of these early barrels .... very interesting and great modelling potential with the dimensions.

One point to note , for anyone outside the US remember these are US gallons, multiply by 0.83 to convert to UK Imperial gallons  and I think multiply by 3.79 to convert to litres

   Marc,

    great, thanks a lot.  You do have a large collection of industrial memorabilia ...............

    Now finding a model supplier of these drums / barrels.

Now finding a model supplier of these drums / barrels.

Bronco do a beautiful kit for the corrugated 55 gallon barrel on p.60. They call it a Chinese PLA 200L oil drum, but we know better. Of course it's 1:35 scale......

Thanks for the scans Marc. Excellent stuff.

Jacq,
Given enough dimensions I could turn a master for you and then we could have it cast in resin?

[jacq01]

  Marty,

  very good idea.
Let me know the mould and casting costs. We can share and you can flog them for a good price to the rest. 
These will be unique as most presently commercially available are modern type ones.
  Do you think we should pay Marc a fee for his research ??

  Jacq

[lab-dad]

with the money we will make on these we can buy Marc all the (good) Tequila he needs!
let me know which one you want to do and I will see about a master.....

I hope you're talking 1:48 scale.  I'd have an interest then as my On30 RR is 1920 era.
