Those Pacifics are great! Crack passenger engines when introduced in the early 1900s. Still going strong in the 1950s on freight and locals. My favourite wheel arrangement.

I know I've asked this before back at the old gauge, but what was the foundation used for the U-1-f 6060?

Some absolutely stunning power you got here either way!

Thanks! She is a beaut - I love all those spoked wheels, drivers, pilot, trailing! I have to say though, I do like the all-weather cab versions. Nothing says Canadian winter like all-weather cabs... Wink

Hello Everyone---some more action at Lowbanks on Doctor Wayne's EG&E.Here's CNR Mike,S-3-A class #3734 taking a spin on the turntable while Erie Northshore's doodlebug '' The Bee" patiently waits for her turn

It's quite common to see Canadian National power at Lowbanks.As #3734 eases onto the turntable,T-3-A Santa Fe (2-10-2) #4193 slowly rolls through town with a long freight on her drawbar
