Not, I have to observe, the BEST built thing ever to come out of Comox, BC. But you have to go elsewhere on the Internet to see those pictures.

Not bad, it only took about 4 minutes with Google to find out who you were talking about.

And yeah, calling her built is accurate - she sure didn't grow that way!

How about a "Wee Beastie"? An Orenstein-Koppel 0-4-2-T built in 1900. On display at the National Railway Museum in Puebla, which is about a 6 hour drive away from me.




Or, for something more modern, an ALCO PA-1 (okay, technically PA-4 after rebuilding by MK in 1975) (ex-ATSF, ex-D&H), also on display at the museum in Puebla. Sorry, didn't have my 'tree filter' on the camera.




Or this Niagara, built by Baldwin in 1946. Part of the last order for steam placed by the NdeM.

When you find a post with the words "Comox" and "beast" in it, your natural impulse is to look somewhere for the missing "r."

I'm guessing countershot lives in the great PacNW, probably on the Washington side of the Columbia River....

I have the NKP 765 Berk on the other side of town from me! Also have a Wabash 0-6-0 being tore apart! They say the 765 is getting ready soon to get back on the rails for some trips. Sad it wont be on home rails though................... Kevin

[countershot]

Yep.

NKP No. 587 roars through my back yard from time to time (she drives the dogs nuts 'cause the ground starts shaking and all), although she hasn't been around for a while due to a boiler refitting. She's a USRA Light Mikado. I also have a couple of F3's, SD7's, and SD9's that cruise through hauling heavyweight pullmans and corrigated Budd passanger cars. You see, I live right up the tracks from the Indiana Transportation Museum.

They have some really good pictures on the web, but they didn't take pictures of everything. As a matter of fact, theres a lot that they left out, but there are plenty of good photo's.

Wish I could figure out how to post a picture on this darned thing!
