Balboa brass.

Just needs a good cleaning, Some NECR locos are known for shooting Oil out the stack which coats the entire engine in black. BTW the real 3854 did have a fire. Might have to make a model with a smoke generator in the cab, LOL.

Was it a write off or did it get restored to service?

It was scrapped, it was the 4th unit on my consist that day.

I'm going to go against the trend and enter my pride and joy which is a scratch built engine house.... Hey, those locos have to serviced somewhere, right?

 

[Lester Perry]

Will my H8 fit in there?

 

[rhoward]

Will my H8 fit in there?

Probably the tender would...... It's going to house a little Bachmann 0-6-0T which will be used to move cars at the quarry.

Not quite at work, but my pride & joy, Utah Belt #3151, an original Utah Belt unit, built up by Eric himself.

Is that fence made from the wire mesh used in a strainer? Very imaginative if so, and it looks fantastic.

OK This one will be a little unusual, because:

I really like unusual models

She's not painted yet.

There are only a couple of hundred of these out there. it's an old Balboa Master Series Southern Pacific AM-2. A smaller version of the cab forward intended for higher speed passenger service. Never really a success, they were all gone as soon as WW-2 ended. I like it's looks, and you won't see one on every layout. I've remotored with a modern can, and done some repairs, and will paint it soon!

Here's mine. My Dad was the fireman on this one prior to WWII. He left the RR and enlisted in the Army in 1937. He got shot up pretty bad in North Africa, and after he recovered, did many war bond tours. He was my hero.

Thanks, its wire mesh used for a screen door.
