I think we are still on mining pictures.

Here is a mine:

Off Topic We interrupt this transmission…

Fascinating how a photo back enhances an amazing model even more.  Fooled me for a moment, before a few more zooms and still have reservations.  And that was fun, thanks

One of the original photos, and BTW thanks for the kind remarks.

Now back to our interrupted programming.

Some of the damages from the collapse of the locomotive shelving unit shown here.

 

Most of the damage was repairable but a few were total losses.

Lets try for an articulated or compound engine!

Wearing Pennsy colors but again, not a PRR design. More like a white elephant.

 PRR_HH1 by Edmund, on Flickr

The PRR wasn't a big articulated user but wound up with these second-hand Y-3s from the N&W (PRR influenced) and classed them HH1s. They ran out their last days in the Columbus, Ohio area.

More articulateds, simple or compound, please.

Please show me another steam locomotive with six driving wheels.

-Kevin

 

I didn't even know what was meant by a six-coupled loco until Kevin posted this.

Here's the latest addition to my roster, a late Christmas present to myself. It's a Bachmann Spectrum Pennsy K4. I've quickly fallen in love with it. It has a WOW Sound decoder and runs smoothly through the entire speed range. Best of all, it has a factory Keep Alive, the first of my locos to have that. I bought two Keep Alives about five years ago but I've been unable to find anybody who knows where to attach them to my early BLI locos with QSI decoders so they remain on the shelf.

Let's move up to 8 driver steamers, please.

Another six-coupled locomotive please.

This is an Oriental Powerhouse USRA Pacific that I forgot I owned. It was "discovered" while cleaning a couple of years ago.

It is not undecorated, but it is pretty close to it.
