Big black door stop ...who did it?

[Carey Williams]

Hello keepers of the doorstops .
Any idea who built this one ?
Lots of Mikados in the world but can not match this up with any catalog illustrations (I've found)
Thank you for your help
Double cab windows were a Saginaw signature ... but I thought they only made 3 locos ...442,460 and 280? ....
It has been modified for inside third rail .... but proper whiskers can be added .
Cheers Carey

That seller had a lot of things priced well. Most got snagged up last night . A few only made it an hour or so.

Hello all
Thank you again Bob for pointing to Scalecraft . Found the Mikado in the 1940 and 1941 catalogs.

I know Scalecraft went through some turbulent times post war but did they issue any postwar catalogs other then the 1950 copy showing the Northern ?
Here is a page with the Mikado from the 1940 catalog .
Cheers Carey

Any Warren Crater fans out there? This one looks a lot like a better quality scratchbuilt from the olden days:

Yes Bob, I'm a Warren Crater fan. If I had realized it was his I would have bought it. How did you determine that it was his?
