Model Notes:

The Chooch set consists of two gears, one gear mount, a flywheel, and a Scotch marine boiler mounted on cribbing. The set was marketed by Chooch as usable for "HO-scale or larger".

Ed Kirstatter used the parts from two sets to provide loads for the cars shown in his three photos. Shown here are two flywheels and the gears in an S Scale America 40-foot gondola placed on some wooden cribbing.

Shown here are the two large gears mounted on brackets, which Ed glued in a Branch Line Models ACL 40-foot gondola.

Shown here are the boilers from two kits placed on an S-Helper Service flat car. These measure 1-3/4" in diameter and fit perfectly across the car's deck. Ed glued the loads to the flat car, and placed stakes in the stake pockets next to the loads. Chooch also sells smaller versions of these boilers (parts #7280 40-ton/small and #7281 80-ton/medium).
