Here is an old pic (I hope), sorry it isn't clearer. I'll have to borrow the digi camera off the (ex)wife if you want more.<br> [img]http://www.catfish-hollow.com/James2.jpg[/img]<br> <br> Mods include: LGB smoke unit, brass buffers (off a Mamod Live Steamer), working LGB headlamp and brass lampstands on the front buffer, Lehmann brake hoses, brass handrails, twin safety valves, a loop coupler attached to the pilot wheelset (to doublehead with Thomas of course), Lionel/Thomas driver, lowered tender body to match the cab, some paint, and about 1.5# of steel plate for weight (which probably contributed to the demise of the gearset). A lot of people have gotten a big kick out of this loco pulling a Lehmann Toytrain "Pustefix" bubble blowing car and/or animated aquarium car at shows (The bubble car is a LOT of fun, but boy does it make a sticky mess!)...I probably should get the dinosaur car too. [:D]<br> <br> BTW The new "empire" is extremely boring at the moment [:(]--just a loop of used track on a piece of hunter green plywood. I need to fish the buildings and cars out of the old garden in the next few days, and I'm still looking for cheap or free houseplants to make it an indoor "garden" RR<br> <br>
