1. This is a Randy Kemp built "Denny Pan style" AFX, with a full size front mounted alnico craft magnet, and the cut out chassis
where the mid-mounted magnet went. It would have also had a wired on rear magnet, as shown on #3.
2. This is (I think) a TCP brass pan mounted on an AFX, with my Faller style brush setup. Shaker pan with lead and pin mounts,
and sticky lead tape on the bottom. This also would have a mid-mounted magnet and a rear magnet.
3. This is Iso-Fulcrum design, similiar to what the California HOUROC racers were running on AFX chassis. Mine was overloaded
with magnets! Faller brush system, pans pivot from the chassis near the pickup hangers. Not sure what guide pin setup was, but
the California Iso-Fulcrums, had a piano wire guide pin, going through the chassis and bent to provide an up-stop.
4. The brp 80-ZAP, an iso-fulcrum split pan electric design, invented to provide an answer to the widespread banning of add on handling
magnets, which occurred in Indiana/Michigan HOPRA and HOUROC. This car would have Super II magnets dropped through the chassis, Super II
arm and cut down Faller brushes. This car was well before Aurora released the MagnaTraction and ran as well as my brp MKII magnet car chassis.
5. This is a brass shaker perimeter pan, interesting design, but no sure who made it or where I picked it up.
6. This a Randy Kemp "Denny Style" pan AFX, and unmodified by me! Amazing craftsmanship from Randy, who really was the best driver of the era, IMHO!
