Saw this today on Railpictures. Be a fun project. I picture a Rivarossi Bowker 2-4-0 as a start and a bobber caboose frame for tender.

That whole display is just plain cool looking, with the track atop the steel girders, and the obvious weathering on everything!

I can definitely see why you like it. Somebody's got to model this thing.

"A lot of modellers out there who go to these train shows see broken HO stuff and go, 'This is useless' when, in reality, they can still be used for modeling whether it's as a prop on your layout or a cool project to make something old new again."

the steel girders look like a former bridge
Unusual tender with 4 wheels Usually you see those in EU or UK

You got me curious, so I googled it:
"Built in 1900 by Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, this little beauty mark the entrance of the Canadian Railway Museum. OSC stands for "Old Sydney Collieries", Nova-Scotia."
