 About as large as you can get.  H8 Alleghany

More large steam power.

Not as big as your H8 but not a tea kettle, either. The PRR bought these compound articulateds from the N&W and got a few years' use out of them. In a somewhat unusual practice they were adorned with Keystone number plates normally reserved for passenger power:

Another articulated locomotive, please.

I bought this Bachmann 2-6-6-2 at a now-long-gone hobbyshop...

...and there's a thread HERE on its re-build.

While it's a decent runner, not much of a puller (or pusher, which was my intended use for it).

Please show us some steam-powered switchers.

David, a quick question... Could you provide an explanation of what's meant by an "outline model".  Sheldon, along with me and several other North American modellers are uncertain of the meaning.  There's an ongoing thread here in General Discussion, if you'd care to add some input.

Thanks if you're able to clarify the term.

Wayne
