I have to check it out GEC, Thanks. P5se sorry I don't have a thread on the construction of this model, I started it 6 or 7 years ago, before I knew about the GAUGE. Toptrain has a few early construction pics, hopefully he'll post them. It is mainly scratch built, The cab and cylinders are from an old NEW ONE 4-6-0 Camel. The tender is a Bethlehem car works kit along with parts of the firebox. I rolled the boiler and smoke box from brass. the air tanks, check valve, walkways and other details are either scratch built or modified kit parts. The frame, drivers, and front pilot are modified Mantua parts. It also has a can motor and fly wheel drive. The side rods and valve gear are either scratched or come from other steamers. I'll try to post some pics in a bit.
My other car is a locomotive, ARHS restoration crew
