Thanks, Dean, but the 34 is the only brass steamer that
I've got. It's an older PFM model of a Boston & Maine loco that barely ran when I got it. I installed a new can motor, altered a few details, and gave it a paint job based on the steamers of my favourite prototype, the TH&B.
And just so she wasn't the only Mogul on the roster, sister 37, from IHC was added a little later. A few details were changed to impart a "family" resemblance, even though the IHC is a more modern loco.
Big power on the Grand Valley is a quartet of Consolidations that are at least the equals of the Erie Northshore's Mikados, shown earlier.
Here's the 25, passing the siloes at GERN, on a work train.
Number 26 at the Lowbanks shops. She recently survived a three foot dive to the concrete floor.
And the 27, the most-photographed of the four. The photographer caught her in Elfrida, not too far from the station.
Oddly enough, no photos can be found of the 28. She was the second engine on a coal train when Number 26 took her plunge, and was left hanging over the precipice: only the weight of the train behind kept her from falling.
There
is a Number 29 in the works, and rumors are she'll be a bit different from her older sisters.
