Please show another 4-8-4.

This one was originally a Santa Fe locomotive, with a huge eight-axle tender.  I shortened the tender, then used part of a covered hopper to change it into a centipede-type.  The centipede bed used the cut-up and re-assembled original sideframes, with a homemade overlay of styrene, traced from a photo ad in MR for a brass Niagara...

It went to a friend in Wisconsin some years ago.

Another Niagara, please, or perhaps a Mexican Nigara

Lots of derelict equipment in this scene on the Sebring Ohio Model RR Club:

Anymore derelict locomotives?

Here is a derelict locomotive in a public park as modeled by the North Georgia Modu-Rail group.

Show me anything in derelict condition.

Show me more small locos.

This one was a donation from one of my father's co-workers, but it never ran well, unable to pull even its own shadow...

However, I didn't want to get completely rid of it, so parked it behind the Lowbanks car shop...perhaps a project for the employees in their spare time.

Wayne

Please show us another derelict car or locomotive, or perhaps a structure that's seen better days.

PC101: "Show more "smallest Engines."

The most famous small steam engine. Thomas the Tank Engine on an excursion run on the BRVRR years ago.

In case Thomas isn't right for this thread: This little three-truck Shay belongs to my oldest grandson. Its a fussy little thing, but kinda cool.

More small engines, steam or diesel.

Remember its your railroad

NorthBrit asks ''More smallest locomotives''.

My smallest Steamer, I thinkHmm. The tiny ones are hard to keep track of. Sometimes I can blow their whistle to find them.  PRR #2790, 0-6-0 dropping of a load of coal at Oly's coal yard.

Show more ''smallest Engines'' please.

0.4.0  locomotives rule when running steam engines on 'Sovereign Street'.

 

 

More smallest locomotives.

I hope no one is bothered that I opened both the Diner and Show Me Something in September. Judging by forum traffic, I might have the only connection right now.

This was the previous request:

PC101
More of "your smallest engine" please.

This little 0-4-0 saddle tank steam engine is the smallest locomotive on the STRATTON AND GILLETTE roster:

Please show me another of your smallest locomotives.
