Okay guys,
Ed Skuchas e-mailed me privately with the info. All I have are the actual pieces
and measurements, but no pattern. Perhaps we should take a head count and see
how many all of us would order. Then we could approach Q-Car with a definite
number. I also have some Milwaukee style feeder brackets, but knowing the
history of my fellow Milwaukee fans (i.e., extremely cheap) I doubt there would
be much of a market for those.
I have some people in Vancouver and Edmonton looking out for surplus
"universal" style feeder brackets. I know Jim Holland would snag me a Muni
bracket and pole cap in a heartbeat if he ever finds any being disposed.
Chicago's are easy to model. They were nothing more than heavy wooden cross arms
with a mounting collar around the steel line pole.
I took a couple of detailed shots of one of the Library line's old style wooden
line poles (with the three phase AC lines) during 1999. These can be scratch
built easily by people modeling the interurban lines.
