Upgrading my steam roster

[Puddlejumper]

Lately I have been reading, and rereading, the many threads here with such magnificent steam locomotive builds. The 4-8-0 and 2-10-0 Camelbacks built by E-Paw are I think what motivated me most, though between the rest of you I have enough to read here to really get me going.

Today I dug up my steam fleet from the various places I had them tucked away. There are enough projects here to keep me busy for quite some time.


Original cast metal Varney Dockside. Needs a motor, superdetailing, valve gear, basically everything.


Mantua 0-4-0. Needs a motor and decoder.


Old 117, a Spectrum 4-6-0. Needs a decoder.


B&P 801, Pre Walthers Proto 2000, needs a decoder.


Pre Walthers Proto 2000, needs a decoder.


And the loco that got me started on this path, an old Bowser PRR K4 Pacific. Will need to be completely gone through, including repowering, with decoder, lighting, and possibly sound.
