This is a locomotive, I've been pondering to custom build, for a long time! It took some serious "getting over" hacking up a Rivarossi 2-10-2, plus, make it heavier, and run well...... So, Its all done now!

With that said, the locomotive is now complete, and there will be "completed" pictures comming this weekend of the finished model!

Built just like the B&O did there's! Mine was done the exact same way, in scale! As you'll see below:











And the following are of the frame, BEFORE any milling took place!









I have this locomotive completed and in a display case, so, the finished model will have pictures done over the following weekend! (When I have a chance at the camera and computer, and some spare time!)

ENJOY!

And now (as promissed) pictures of the finished model!

With the recent choice of Yellowstone Train Repairs casting just about EVERYTHING to make these locomotive possible it has taken time to get to finishing even one of my own as well as customers, but the next few pictures, will show whats being done and what the end result is!

First up, a 3/4 view of the model:



A shot of the tender:



This next one shows a picture of whats been done to the cab......(I've casted this detail for all those B&O modelers out there!)



Opposite side of the 3/4 view:

And for the last one, the opposite side of the full side view of the locomotive showing the cab detail, just the other side:



Alot of AWESOME details went into this one, and the nice thing for anyone interested, is it ALL can be replicated for production!
