Even the master builder Mel Thornbourgh never modeled it -- I built a K4 Pacific following his plans and directions and it was not shown. You have a fantastic eye for detail, rest assured that when I build my next brass loco -- it WILL have the joint shown! Thanks for the lesson, Dave
Interesting !
I can't find ( I may have thrown away the old "thermal copy" I had of it ) the Thornburgh article on the B&O C-16. I could have sworn that he modeled it in that article.
Roundhouse / Model Die Casting, included that detail on their cylinder castings for their 2-8-0, and their HOn3 inside and outside frame 2-8-0 kits.
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!
