Correct me if I'm wrong but that brass K-4 is either an OMI, OR a Westside Model unit......Looks too good to be anything other then.....(I'll be surprised otherwise!)

Nelson, He'd be a cruel cruel man if he was posting a picture of a B&O T-3t! OR any B&O T-3 for that matter! I can pass on the PRR stuff! BUT will admit it sure is nice to look at anything made in brass, and the detail that follows!

My LOTW is a "double vision" special, a pair of CE&I BL-2, same number. A craigslist find.

I know one thing..........thats a NICE model!
As for the Canon motors, I been using them for years, in the DN-22 model thats aflat can motor and the things are strong pullers!
As far as "sunset" goes, do they even make brass trains any more?

Looks like its gonna be a BL-2 week! I had a few of them, one in Western Maryland and one in C&O.....Sold them all off awhile ago, but one that I'm using the shell on a Proto-2000 frame as the proto shell was not with the frame from a show....I'm building this one for someone!
I however, have one BL-2 fully proto-2000 in Western Maryland that I picked up about 10 years ago for $20.00 at a show!

Nice loco Ken! I'll keep the steam spirit alive, Bachmann 4-8-4 with smoke. Newer model with blackened wheels, rods and a higher quality can motor. Barely ran and like new!

Did you do any detailing on it,Mike? I haven't seen horns like that, nor roof railings that look anything like that one. That a Life-Like / Walthers? Interesting...

Jerry,
Thats actually a Life-Like Proto-2000 unit! I have one in Western Maryland and then I had a C&O just like that one that I sold some time ago.....
Nice models, and run well!

My LotW this week came a while back from a Forum buddy.
Haven't worked on it yet as I don't know enough about Canadian Prototype steam to match it to but I'll get there. In the mean time here she is my "8 Ball"!
