Yes, Southern Pacific Atlantic #3000; Lester Friend's own take on it.Sandiapaul wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 4:56 am Bill,

Paul
1" scale. Designed late 1940s. Off the market since 1979. Castings available. Drawings available. Construction articles available.
www.friendsmodels.com has a link near the top of the page that will take you to the 1" scale Atlantic.
Thank you,
-John

Paul:
it is a copy of a freelance loco done by George Thomas of the Philadelphia area in 1966.
4 bolts and the entire boiler & cab come off for easier transport (for us old people who no longer want large trucks or trailers).
Gentleman in the picture is owner of the original.
I am doing my best to duplicate (within the limits of available castings) and some forced creativity

Too many things going on to bother listing them.
