Thanks, Dan, backstory is that I got this out out of a model train estate
sale I was helping to liquidate. It was in Virginian black, and if I remember
correctly, I "updated" it to the last extant Conrail version. Has a b
Hobby Town drive. I do believe the proto E33 had three axle trucks,
and a lower, longer car body.

Just arrived at the shop recently, I snagged this nice southern Shark to cruise the tracks eventually. :D It runs nicely, considering it probably hasn't been run at all in years.

Love the Lionel Geep Frank! Others are awesome too.
Mine's one I've had my eye on for awhile. Got it from the same seller as the Durango caboose. Bit too much, but original box and insert and she runs like a dream.
This makes 4 Tyco steamers I have. Chattanooga 2-8-0, Chattanooga 0-8-0, Clementine 0-8-0 (with stripped tender), and the CP. I really want the GM&O 2-8-0. That is a beautiful loco.

Hello Barry,
Because I have no layout right now, that will be a while, but I did find a video of one someone else made on line:

| Cool video Sean. Thanks. Seems like a complex, yet powerful machine for the loggers. Some pretty neat structures on that layout as well.

** Sean looks to be a very Spartan 0-4-4-0t model.
* Seeing neat old ways of doing things, that worked very well, and details like the large oil headlight on the front pilot walkway. Stepped pilots, front, and rear! The single top piston slides meant to last forever. The vertical shaft motor drive, with brass gears. Again, long lasting! This articulated Teakettle was really meant to last! Details I would add are sanders and piping, compressor and piping, a nicer bell, steam dome mounted whistle, and poppet valves, market lights front and rear. A rear facing oil, headlamp on top of the cab roof. I am getting crazy so I’ll stop now with the details.
* The 0-4-4-0t in the video is narrow gauge where yours seems not to be. It also is oil fired where yours has an open coal bin, which could use an angular shute on its three out-word facing sides. This would make it possible to auto load the coal instead of hand loading it, a shovel full at a time.
* I guess I like that loco. a lot. A very good find!
