Yes sir Gary. Almost every wheel (except for the front pilot) picks up power from the rails.
Now you are looking at the brave souls that have volunteered for reconstructive surgery in order to serve as crew on #454
Doctor Misinfingers and his staff have arrived from south Jersey to assist in the transformation.
The first to receive treatment is fireman Jim. He received a proper shovel and new headgear, provided by the unnamed porter, May he rest in piece.

Jim's status looks good doctor!

LOL. You may have to make a LPB cemetery and an LPB CSI unit to handle the investigation into the crooked frankenstein hospital.

The following arrived in my email in-box just moments ago ...
Quote: Bil, all numbers start with the letter A and all are priced at $4.25 per package. Minimum order from them is $30, so if you order from PSC make sure you get whatever you need and add up to at least $30.

I hope that helps, or at least points you in the direction of help.

It's alive! It's alive!
" May he rest in piece "..................don't you mean pieces !

Doctor Misinfingers Was at it again.
You remember Fireman Jim, "far left" has recovered nicely. His brother Fireman Bob, "center" got off easy with only a tool swap.Their cousin, Engineer Mike "right",did not fair so well. His right arm was repositioned, left one was transplanted from the unnamed porter, he had his hips reconfigured and legs amputated at the knees. :-o The two fireman have received there first coat of paint and I hope to finish the tree of them tomorrow.

How many engines have you seen without a crew? I've seen too many! Beautiful, well detailed, even sound equipped, but all 'phantom steamers' with a ghostly hand at the throttle, apparantly. I'm SO glad you're putting people in that fine looking steamer.

Well the crew is painted and the glazing installed. Here are a few pics to start off.
Here is the crew from Left to right. Jim , Bob ,and Mike.
and the window glazing.

Now some shots of the installed crew...
A closeup of the rear cab.
From here I have to hit the LHS for a small lamp for the front head light. and I want to fabricate some tools for the fire crew.

Love it! The crew is a great addition to an already great locomotive. Awesome!
Re: E-paw's EOY challenge. - Steamtrains - 12-05-2010
Beautiful work... (on a really ugly-duckling)....
Might I suggest rusting up the couplers..??
OHSA would have had a field day on those working conditions...
biL...if it's just the rivets you need...you can order a small package from Yardbird Trains for $4.75 (+/-) plus a couple of bucks for shipping.
Re: E-paw's EOY challenge. - P5se Camelback - 12-05-2010
Me? Rivets?
Why would I need rivets?
The Scale Test Car needs a railing, couplers and some plumbed up brake gear! There are no rivets involved. :? :arrow: :?: :?:
I thought that E-Paw was the one who needed rivets. :?

Thanks everyone! I was wondering about that post Bil. Thanks but I emboss my own and have a few spare rivets from the valve gear.

Diesel people mentality - one Camelback looks the same as every other Camelback
So they just confused you two.Head of the RCT&HS modular group was going around disparaging T-1's at a meeting, all in fun, so I tried to organize a massive power move at the last show with 4-5 T-1's and a caboose, but I couldn't get any volunteers to join in.
