Grampy asked for our least favorite scene.

The result of carelessness back in '09.

How about another least favorite scene?

That 0-6-0 Pennsy B6 is a brass model! 

Correct! Sunset 1989 "Prestige Series". Probably made by Samhongsa but I can not confirm this. They were pretty common and can easily be found at the usual sellers.

Thanks, Ed

Now back to Grampy's request...

Well if paint is optional, how about my biggest locomotive!

gmpullman,

That 0-6-0 Pennsy B6 is a brass model!  I can tell by the gold paint!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but who imported it?

Wonderful detail, howmus! Total realism in the ground cover. I especially like the ivy on the wall. The entire scene is charming and intriguing--the way the track forks off to the back of the shop--this is unique, having a little hill right in the middle of a branch. One of my favorite show me somethings.

Show me another, but larger, steam locomotive, please.

Here, a B&O T-3a overtakes a slower EM-1 while a diesel streamliner passes above.

Show me more "heavy" steam...

Ever since my childhood days with my Lionel trains I have wanted a loco with a sloped back tender. Although the New Haven doesn't fit with my railroad there always has to be an exception to the rules.

So here in answer to Dr. Wayne's request is a six wheel steamer which is also a switcher.

Please continue by showing a six wheel steamer or a switcher.

It has been pointed out to me that this thread is for model railroad subjects only, so I must apologise for the faux pas in my previous post. OopsEmbarrassed

I don't have any industry-specific switchers, so the best I can do is this leased CNR switcher spotting a reefer at National Grocers:

I'm a bit surprised, though, that no one has posted another industrial switcher, so please let me see a steam locomotive, any wheel arrangement, but with six drivers.
