Re: Southern Pacific Steam 2020
Hint taken. Freelance, but strongly based on SP locomotive practice. A lot of Lobaugh parts. Tender drive, as usual for my narrow firebox models.

Re: Southern Pacific Steam 2020
Except for the Cab Forwards and one lonely Consolidation, that is it for my SP steam collection. I guess that is enough for one kid, right?
Just scanning Shuttersworth, I guess I have a hundred photos there at this point. The only flaw I see is that I have to punch the "date uploaded" button each time I want to access stuff, to get the latest photo on top. The rest of it is literally easier than just posting text here - a couple keystrokes, and "boom" - a photo appears on MTJ.

Re: Southern Pacific Steam 2020
Like the 4-4-0.
What sort of minimum radius will it take?
Well beyond my needs!
Should be some way to override that and set the display to place the most recently uploaded 1st, but maybe not. I have all my photos in Smugmug set up in folders with the autosort overridden to manual. Some details of these various hosting services are not immediately obvious.

Not here, the word "IMAGE" appears and then I right-click on it and select "View image" and then it appears in a separate screen.

Re: Southern Pacific Steam 2020
No idea on the min radius - Lobaugh frame/cylinders/lead truck, so somebody ought to know. 36"?
I'll look more closely to see if I can lock it.

Odd. Perhaps a consequence of browser settings and OS?

Re: Southern Pacific Steam 2020
Last one - well, I do have an SE-4 0-8-0 under construction, but it is still pretty ugly - and another Pratt 0-6-0 that just got a slope back tender and firebox this month - I can use them to bump this thread in 2021?
17/64; tender drive. An ash pan will hide that drive shaft, someday. And it will get weathered when I feel like it. And yes, I like spoked wheels, even though by 1920 none of these locomotives had them under their tenders.

No one here will object.

As do I. I need to settle down for a few days and swap out all the lead trucks of my F3c's to spoked wheels and then the tenders.

I like the spoke wheels, too. And I would not have noticed the tender drive if you had not mentioned it.

Re: Southern Pacific Steam 2020
Okay - very last ones, unless a new kit drops in my lap or I do more cab forwards.
First is an SE-4. I may leave it this way, since it runs, and I resurrected some absolute junk to make it. Note the drivers - I had to pull them out of the frame and re-machine them - their tires were so thick they looked like 1950 Lincoln white walls. I think I even filed the spokes longer.
I got the shape right, and stuck a Lobaugh reject Mike cab on there. Domes are cast by Dennis using my pattern.

Re: Southern Pacific Steam 2020
And the last Pratt/Lobaugh switcher gets a firebox and new tender. Unfortunately, I have run out of lifting injectors and check valves, so the project stops here until I twist Bob Stevenson's arm a bit. I shall do a new cab for the Williams B6sb, after I clean up my act!
Re: Southern Pacific Steam 2020
Nice work, Bob.
SWaiting for more.
