Class NE bobber....

Cupola is almost as big as the cabin! It appears to be about a third of the length of the main body. Odd configuration; I would not mind having a model of one, though.

Class NE had that oversize cupola -- almost goofy looking....

Me, too! But I think it's a scratch/bash - building exercise.

If I were going to do it (with my admittedly lousy building skills), I would start with the Atlas/Roco four-wheel "bobber" and an ATSF tall cupola for a base to work with.

I was thinking of starting with a GloorCraft kit for a PRR bobber to get all the metal detail parts in hand, and then scratchbuild the cupola.

And here I was thinking they were merely looking like practical jokers waiting for the joke to be discovered.

But at least several here are not looking deadly serious.

That Hagerstown photo reminds me of how thrilling it was to suddenly have a locomotive like that come shoving its way thru a community in everyday life during my childhood in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. McKeesport was a particularly intimate spot for such encounters since a track leading into National Tube USSteel mill cut directly across the main shopping strip, known by the label “downtown.” Loved it all - the shopping and the muscular locomotives trudging right thru daily life. We were actually able to reach out and touch them as they made their steady and muscular moves into and out of the mill.
