Here's a Mantua Lehigh Valley camelback 2-8-2.
[albumimg]4086[/albumimg] I redetailed it, changed out the tender trucks (still not completely accurate), and since this was maybe 30 years ago, installed a PFM analog sound system, also a can motor. These were the only camelback 2-8-2s, and there are very few photos extant.

A shot of my new acquisition from Germany, She arrived at the house as I was doing some work at over at Tomustangs place.
You can really see the difference in size from a heavy Mike to a light one in the last pic...Thanks again to CNW1961 for the prompt shipping.
My other car is a locomotive, ARHS restoration crew

Hello again---the railroad employees at Leetown are always very accomodating to the local railfans.As long as you follow some basic safety rules,the shops and yard facilities are open for touring and taking pictures .The engine crews are very eager to show off their steeds as well as offering cab rides around the yard---no wonder railfanning is so popular.The engine crew of S-1-D Mike #3377 have spotted their engine in a "rods down" positon so the locals can get a good profile shot

Hello---Gus,I really like your Mike ---it reminds me of the Virginian and Algoma Central locomotives.I hope I'm not wearing out my welcome with the "same old same old" routine but here's another shot of 3254

Where Mikes are concerned, "the more, the merrier"...
How about a series of close-ups of that German "import"...She's a real beauty....
