Someone said PRR, but I don't think so.....no Belpaire firebox, and I don't think the PRR ever had a loco with an Elesco feedwater heater. Looks more New York Central to me. Max Gray? Mohawk?

You are correct - took me a minute to find the arrow. The other three are no help either. A shot of underneath, if anybody seriously wants to know. Probably a modified Hines or a scratchbuild.

Interesting - all weather cab?

Nothing that I really can assign to any specific.
If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.

It looks like a PRR coast-to-coast tender to me. I can not say about the loco, though. One of the leased ATSF ones, maybe? Again, a bottom shot or at least a photo without all of that bubblewrap.

Somebody has to have seen that all-weather cab design in a model before.
I can't say that I have.

Standard cab, with a custom-fit insert for sealing...with doors....retaining all the original cab rooflines.

My guess is a C&O Kanawha.

Don't think so.
Number boards in wrong place, feedwater heater wrong, sand dome not even in the same universe, RH running board...no.
Pilot and cowcatcher different. Stack different. Running board steps different.
Again, all-weather cab?
Steam dome different place.
Tender? No way, jose.

Probably some Lobaugh kludge.

Nope. Not Lobaugh, at least not on top.

Come on, folks.
SOMEBODY has to have seen an all-weather cab like that one fitted up under and existing cab roof.

I cannot find one in all my reference materials.

Nope. It is one of a kind.
