Monday Mountain thread

[Rufus T. Firefly]

That brings us full circle. Start and end with a green- boilered SP. Folks, I am out of Mountains. You have the thread.

Hmmmm....................and it's Sunday.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Monday!

And, here's your mountain......



It's the only Mountain I've got!

Having said that, I do have a Pearce 2-8-0 that I like:



Jim

NO reason NOT to like it.....a nice looking engine, and a venerable road!

[bob turner]

I agree. That is a very nice looking model. We could expand this thread to include Consolidations? Problem is, I only have one Harriman and a fleet of H10s, not counting the nascent Pearce with tender drive. We would have to get participation from other Consolidation owners.

Oh - speaking of nascent - I do have a camelback Consol in very sketchy form.

[rogruth]

Change when needed?

[J. S. Bach]

Why not? Even I have a CLW H-10. Here it is at a friend's house before I got it from him in a trade:

[rogruth]

Nice loco, Dave.
Look what it's pulling.

[J. S. Bach]

R.I.P.

We would have to get participation from other Consolidation owners.

I have 3-4 although having pictures of them is apparently something else; finding all of them, yet another issue. Did see the one just the other day though while looking for something totally unrelated under the layout....

Perhaps I shall mount an expedition into the darkest depths of the layout room in search of the elusive Consolidations........

[rogruth]

Head 'em up! Move 'em out! Round up those 2-8-0s. Everybody.

[bob turner]

You have seen this one before. Still needs some work. The tender tank is removable to get to the motor, and I suspect I do not have it bolted down properly for the photo.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Like those tender trucks!

[Wolf]

I'll second that about the tender trucks. Don't see very many spoked wheels modelled...

[R.K. Maroon]

Bob, I recall that you are a stickler for accurate tail beams, at least as far as SP goes, and that looks like an SP tailbeam to my untrained eyes. Did you indeed modify the tailbeam on this one and is there an SP prototype for this one?
