Side Tank Prairie

Bachmann's new Mining Mogul was a little too dainty for my liking. I found while searching through my idea books a 2-6-2t locomotive built for logging by The Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1913. The locomotive was built for a logging oufit in Castle Rock, Washington. I started by modifying the original cab using 1/32" aircraft plywood and styrene. The bunker and side tanks were built from styrene. An Ely Thomas Shay stack was added to replicate the one on the real locomotive. This is a great little machine that pulls well when you add 2 pounds of lead to the boiler and side tanks.
