I presume, and hope, you're not going to install smoke into that beautiful model and thereby screw up the paint.

2RailJon,

Your Atlantic mechanism arrived yesterday (Saturday). This morning I removed the drivers, cut off the 3 rail tires and pressed on new rough tires onto the driver centers. Drivers are 84" in diameter. I should be able to finish the machine work tomorrow or Tuesday. You did not include your direct email address in with your model.

On the test track this rascal screamed to run!

The tender marker lights work fine and replacement red glass is on the way for them.

Excellent, very exciting to see, these A class locomotives are truly otherworldly looking beasts, my understanding is they were the largest class of Atlantics in history? I've only seen a single photo of one with it's shrouding removed and they're monsters, unique, almost European in appearance with a very strange looking smoke box, and the drivers and rods sans shrouding are something to behold. Off the chart cool machinery.
Look forward to your video with this tooling around with that passenger set.
