Hello Jeff,
Nice shots. What is the skinny on this little consolidation? What is the make, etc.? I'm curious...
Here's a B&W of K4s over Hammer Creek. DJ.
getting ready for our open house this weekend. Set up the round house and engine house with some locos with sound. Kinda helps bring the layout alive
It's an old USRA 0-6-0 made by Bachmann. It was a 1980's offering with a pancake motor. The motor long since burned out and the axle sleeves on the wheels are cracked. I needed an old steam loco for a certain scene and it seemed to be the perfect candidate. Problem was I didn't have a tender to go with it, so I used a UP Grayhound tender a friend had given me. I sprated them both with rusty metal primer, applied a bit of chalk here and there and added some foliage around it. Some of it is still stuck on the model. Here are a few shots of the model in the scene I made for it.Hello Jeff,

Cool shots!
Whats that steamer with the orange tender? A streamliner maybe?
Thanks. Too bad that scene doesn't exist anymore. It became necessary to rip up that part of the layout to accommodate the new track plan. There's an engine house sitting on that location now.Jeffrey, that old loco scene is still your best.
I have another Bachmann 0-6-0 that's even older (70's vintage) than that one and it still runs. It originally had an open frame motor but was rebuilt and remotored with a can motor. I picked it up as part of an inheritance. The Bachmann 4-8-4 (fully operational) in my photo from today is one that I picked up at a yard sale for $5.Jeffery - Letting off a lot of steam lately, looking good. Your little 0-6-0 was our first locomotive, found the entire train set at a shop closing up for $15. I bought it for my son for Christmas and the rest is history.
hey guys, any of you might know what is the engine number of the black UP ac4400cw ? im starting a lil projet on this unit.
