D&D Steel

[Don Dunn]

This is a Mongram Hudson Steam locomotive kit. The ideal is that some steel mill used steam locomotives to provide steam to parts of there mill while the regular boilers was down for maintenance or repair. I wanted the locomotive to still be in rather good shape but also wanted to show it's age. The locomotive was painted and weathered by hand. The Ideal came from a magazine article about NWS&W using locomotives they bought for scrap from other railroads. They even saved a few and used them for work in the plant up until the early 80's.
