That's right, 2 bowser builds.
As with the other build, we will start off with some open box pics...
I will be doing some work on the mike today, but I might get into the pacific tomorrow.
Pics to come.

Hmm...I'm not a steam guy myself. However, these kit builds are quite intriguing to the techie in me.
Perhaps when I get the layout back up to operational status I'll consider one of these as a distraction. Perhaps a small steamer to do some dock side switching duties every once and while, when the SW9 is in the shop.
Looking forward to this Matt. Do keep us up to speed on your progress.

My wife pointed something out to me, and it will keep me from building both of the bowser locos at the same time. She reminded me that I tend to be disorganized. I don't want to mix parts up. So, until the mike is ready for the paint shop, the pacific will stay in it's box.

Matt: mixing the parts up is called "Kit mingling" and gives you 2 locos that nobody else has.
