ARTICLE: Building an EBT Boxcar in 1:20 Building an EBT Boxcar in 1:20 The East Broad Top has a unique boxcar, that is made out of mostly off-the-shelf parts: Zee, angle, sheet The cars were built in batches, starting in 1913
EBT style Harp Stand - Track and Trestles - Large Scale Central A working EBT style harp stand I had some drawing already worked up from some field measurements I took I cut out and adhered each piece to some brass Then there was much dremeling, grinding, and filing to follow This can be seen in the first picture This second picture shows the nearly complete stand before paint And finally the finished
Adding Windows to Bachmann Coach - Modeling - Large Scale Central I have cut many windows in coaches while converting Accucraft J S to various EBT style coaches, and I haven’t found a good method! I usually start by drilling out the 4 corners, which is fairly easy In theory you can use a coping saw or similar band saw to cut between the corner holes Most fast saws, like a Dremel disk, will melt the plastic
EBT Swapping trucks. - Prototypes - Large Scale Central I read in a book the other day that to combat the high cost of transferring freight from narrow gauge to standard that the East Broad Top used to swap out the trucks on their frieght cars to fit the gauge of track they would be running on How clever is that So if anyone out there has a smaller scale boxcar mixed in with their standard frieght it is OK There is a prototype for that

Hand laid track - Track and Trestles - Large Scale Central After spending the day working with the EBTF FEBT track gang I can definitely say hand laying scale track is a whole lot less work than doing it in 1:1 Today we completed 120 feet of track in about 5 hours I mostly operated a “Nipper” which is a spoon like steel bar used to lift rail or ties The ties need to be lifted tight to the rail before spikes are driven Spikes are started with a
Water tank freeze in the winter? - General Discussion - Large Scale Central Some railroads, the East Broad Top being one, enclosed their tanks in wooden structures that were heated in winter This is the EBT Tank at Saltillo before it was destroyed by fire… It’s probable that this tank, and a few others will be reconstructed in the future The Saltillo Station that sat across the road from this tank was lost to time about 10 years ago but is it the process of
Building the EBTs Tank #102 - Modeling - Large Scale Central The East Broad Top owned only one tank car The 6000 gallon tank was originally built by Atlantic Refining Co and was purchase by the EBT in 1932 Under EBT ownership it was first mounted on Wood Flat Car #102 which was built as early as 1919 Sometime after 1936 the tank was moved to Flat #116 where it still survives today The 1:22ish Bachman tank is spot on for the 6 foot diameter of the
