I saw a similar build from Germany over on Trainboard forum. I joked that I wanted him (you?) to build me the same model for me and to the same specs... but it wasn't really a joke. I wish I had the kind of skills you guys exhibit on your steam builds. Dave
Being the "illegitimate son of the Pennsylvania RR", the Long Island also had a few A5's, and E6's, including one E6, the 460, the "Lindbergh Engine".

If one has the mind set, to build models, the skills can be learned--------------mostly by making mistakes, and spending the time to learn from them. None of us started by building contest winning models.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
