Why not use Krieder's Berkshire castings and simply extend the design from a 2-8-4 to a 2-10-4? That'd be pretty darn close chassis wise to the TP locomotive. then put a 12 inch boiler on it instead. this would get you around having to design a lot of your own castings, patterns etc which would sign...

For something with a wider firebox ie a Mikado or hudson etc will that work? As the burner will be much more narrow than the firebox.

Was it a temporary install? How were the lines/valves routed since temporary?

do many people make temporary propane conversions from coal for Train mountain? Not sure what the best way to do a temporary propane setup would be for a 4-6-0, pacific etc?

Any pics of the Phil Wonder loco?

Great to see an update. Did you have to alter much to fit those cylinders to the frame? For example particularly the height of the cylinder centerline

Wasn't there also a LE 2-8-0 offered at one time using 0-6-0/2-6-0 parts?

The four aces was thus turned into the Northern Pacific A2 class. I'd search for the Northern Pacific drawings instead of the timken drawings. Here is a link with basic dimensions: http://steamlocomotive.com/locobase.php?country=USA&wheel=4-8-4&railroad=np Not sure how exact of a model you are wanti...

Very neat way to hide the air system without taking up tank space!

didn't someone start a WPY 70 class 2-8-2 in 2.5 inch scale ?

Also surprising no one has built a EBT 2-8-2 or a ETWNC 4-6-0 in 2.5 inch scale.

that first locomotive in the thread is then what the finished product looks like.

would also be curious as to what happened to the East Coast patterns. I think they also made castings for a NYC 4-6-4 and a B&M 4-8-2.

So does anyone have a photo of what the Lee Stephens locomotive looks like built? Seems there were a few Ps4 casting sets. East Coast/Klamath loco works Mammoth loco work?- maybe? Lee Stephens Tech Trainer? - not sure on the name of this one, the one in the pic in this thread though is from this cas...
