Announcing the return of the Harpur 2-4-0 at Allen Models

Post by Harlock »

Allen Models is pleased to announce the addition of a new locomotive, the classic Harpur 2-4-0! This engine was designed in the 1960s by Bob Harpur as a shortened Mogul. Several of these locomotives were built at that time, but the plans were never offered by Gene Allen. We are happy to offer them to you now, with both a tender version and a saddle tank version outlined in the erection drawings. This locomotive is ideal for anyone who wants a smaller locomotive that is easier to transport or a locomotive that will handle the tight curves and small spaces of a home railroad. The tank version can be made even more affordably and quickly as the tender can be eliminated in favor of an inexpensive riding car. See our website for a list of castings and drawings. We hope to see more of these on the road!

The photos are of Brandon Ruiz' 2-4-0 which he has been restoring, and is covered in a thread on the build log section. At LALS last year he had it running before starting the second round of improvements and I took some pictures of it to use with the website.
