Re: A monster in the Pacific North West
Now that you mention it, I would have to say both. I was too much in awe of the loco to pay attention to the tree.....

Re: A monster in the Pacific North West
FAN F'n TASTIC !!!
Un believable engine Chris - beautiful -
actually I was surprised to read 2-8-8-8-2
in the large photo I downloaded you really can't see that last wheel and I thougt it was 6-6-6
WOW! -- I'm in awe!
How long did it take to build? What is the bore and stroke on the engines -
Cute - larry curly and moe !
What does it weigh in at? And more - what do you haul it with?
Would love to hear and see it run.
I don't want to ride it - I just want to stand next to it and FEEL it (not even touching it).
I have seen some very large engines - like the big articulated ones used in the Sierras. But I don't recall a trip 8 - Was this a real live full sized engine? Can you direct me to some photos of the full sized engine?
That monster must be a real steam hog ?
Thanks for sharing!

Re: A monster in the Pacific North West
Hi Dave,
This engine is not mine; it is a friend of mine
I am building a engine that is a little easier to build for my first engine
His name is Larry Anderson
It took him a little over to years to built this engine,
He used three plans for the Railroad supply mike drawing to build the chassis.
I believe is the 2 X 4 bore and stroke on all three sets
Here is some links on the Erie triplex
Triplex
Triplex
And. yes it can be a real steam hog,
Larry set this engine to run and simple or compound just by pulling a couple of levers
you could have a chance to she her, as larry is planning on taking it to train mountain in june, Now i cant wait to see that [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif"%20alt="[/img]
any ways, let me know if you have any more questions

Hi, Chris
I was the one that had the post on the old board,what I was looking for info on the triplex. Larry built a very nice looking engine. I would bet it pulls as good as it looks. I have started on my triplex frames and drivers. I have the two water pumps that are on the right side done. Thank you for the nice photos.
