I have to check it out GEC, Thanks. P5se sorry I don't have a thread on the construction of this model, I started it 6 or 7 years ago, before I knew about the GAUGE. Toptrain has a few early construction pics, hopefully he'll post them. It is mainly scratch built, The cab and cylinders are from an old NEW ONE 4-6-0 Camel. The tender is a Bethlehem car works kit along with parts of the firebox. I rolled the boiler and smoke box from brass. the air tanks, check valve, walkways and other details are either scratch built or modified kit parts. The frame, drivers, and front pilot are modified Mantua parts. It also has a can motor and fly wheel drive. The side rods and valve gear are either scratched or come from other steamers. I'll try to post some pics in a bit.
My other car is a locomotive, ARHS restoration crew

Well, it's an awesome job!
You inspire me ... when I finish the small fleet of very small cabooses I will see if I can't come up with a good starting point for and Atlantic Inspection locomotive -- I used to have a chassis for an MDC Atlantic in a box somewhere .......... :arrow:

That is sweet! Wonder if you could do something to hide the worm better?

What is there to finish? (I see a couple minor things, but what do you see?)
What you managed to complete is absolutely beautiful, btw.
