Default Re: "Steamers" Builds and collection

First of all I want to thank Lou for putting up the pictures of some of my trains. Espeefan, the SD-40-2 was built 1/16 scale form GM drawing and I think it's the way lou is holding his model that makes it look small. It's
52" long 7 1/2" wide and 11 1/2" tall. Has two 12 volt air conditioner motors in the fuel tank one powering each truck. I have easly pulled 10 people behind me on flat cars. I have all so built a F-40 thunder wagon in the same scale for GO Transit in Ontario. The little 2-6-0 is the OS World Engines Porter that was on the market back in the 80's and I got it when I sold a CN Hudson 4-6-4. Other loco's I built over the years are NYC Niagra 4-8-4. CP 4-4-0. 0-4-0 Tich, Four GE 20 ton 0-4-0 diesel electric. The big engine in the pictures is a 1/8 scale Baldwin Logging engine that was working here on the island. The real loco is about 40 miles from where I live so I am able to drive there to measure it. If anyone is interested I have more pictures on some of this stuff.
