Is there a Mike in the house

[cn nutbar]

Hello Everyone---During the steam era on the Canadian National the railroad rostered a total of 497 Mikado type locomotives.Various builders included the Kingston Locomotive Works,the Montreal Locomotive Works,Alco (Schenectedy),Baldwin and even their own shops at Pt.St.Charles in Montreal. Many of the CN Mikes remained in revenue service until the end of the steam era in the late months of 1961.Fortunately 4 of these beautiful locomotives have been preserved:S-1-A 3239 at Delson Quebec,S-1-B 3254 and S-1-D 3377 at Steamtown,Scranton PA.,and Grand Trunk Western S-3-A 4070 ( ex CNR 3734).
Without a doubt,the CNR Mikes are my favourite class of steam locomotives.All my locomotives were custom painted by my good friend Doctor Wayne.Here's a sampling of my Mike roster for your review
