For the last 30 years, I have been the unofficial custodian of the Tinplate Trackers module specifications. Initially, the late Al Bailey maintained them in hard-copy form until his death in 1993. I took his last manual and re-typed it into a Word Perfect document, then later broke it down into a series of HTML documents and carried them on my Earthlink personal website. Fast forward to today where I'm 69 years old and retired, and losing people in my orbit, and while my health is good, I need to pass this one to a fewr more new custodians.
The Tinplate Tracker standards are old and were designed around readily-available tubular track available in the 1980's, but evolved into the International Hi-Railers (IHR) standards and other variants, but the core standards are still valid.
I'm reviewing the HTML documents and plan to put them back into a single document as well as keeping the HTML pages. My goal is to hand these off to new custodians who can maintain them or keep them alive on a website.
Please contact me off-list if you'd like a set, but remember my tag line and promise you'll pass these on.
