Day 246: unfortunately this one had very good original paint but was shipped full of water and wrapped tight in bubble wrap from the Netherlands and suffered quite a bid of damage 😔

I've had that very thing happen to me well more than once, even after providing specific packing instructions that included "please make sure the boiler is well drained".

Heart-breaking to say the least!!!

you should bring these locomotives to the St Croix RR and see if you can get one all the way around the Highline, approx 1000 ft.
I looked for you at Rollag, but did not see you.  I will post a video of my firing activities on the big Bucyrus Erie shovel.

I would love to bring a few there, especially my Bowman 234… I was traveling Rollag all weekend with a Stuart steam hammer, even displayed it in the new blacksmith shop 😁

Box and all .... how cool is that!?!?

Even cooler is that horizontal flywheel in the cab with a single oscillating cylinder. Seems that would have made it even more steam thrifty for longer runs, though perhaps with a bit less power. In any case .... all very cool!!!


You are now well over 2/3rds of the way done, on a job that is very well done!
