Sumpter 250's duff challenge

[Sumpter250]

An outside frame, NG 2-6-6-2 is a nice concept for a freelance locomotive! It is a sufficiently plausible concept (The D&RGW having received quotes for OF ng 2-8-8-2s), and effectively executed by not following a prototype's details too closely. Your work has been excellent on this project both on concept and execution!

I wasn't aware of the D&RGW 2-8-8-2 quotes :o
I was partly driven by the fact that I have, in standard gauge, a 2-4-4-2, a 2-6-6-2, a 2-8-2, and a 2-8-0
I have built the 3' gauge 2-8-0, 2-8-2, and 2-4-4-2, all outside frame. The 2-6-6-2 OF is a long waiting project.

Lutz, I can use that idea for the lead engine ! BUT, I would have to change the style of the crosshead itself to do that. It is a legitimate "way out", and will have to see how much effort will be required to make it happen.
Many Thanks,
Pete

The headlight on the sand box on the pilot deck.
   
The Back-up light on the tender end cap.
   
The "sled" for the drive motor, with the tender end attached.
This will take a bit more "finessing" to get the motor supports right, and get the motor secured in place, with the universal drive cup on the shaft.

Now that I think of it - - - - - has anyone ever seen an outside frame, 3' gauge, 2-8-8-8-2 Triplex ?
( did I just hear the Star Trek theme playing ?? )
