A Bachmann American Type, "Jupiter," rounds the curve into Hart's Mill Crossing. From
the RP Model Railroad Works.

My LOTW is what appears to be an early Mantua, Varney & Knapp kitbash... It is missing the trailing truck but it appears to intend to be a 4-8-2 Mountain with a Mantua brass boiler, a Varney brass vanderbilt tender and a modified Knapp brass chassis. The patina is nice and it looks like it is just post-war, with pre-war parts judging by the motor.

Really interesting pieces. That Mantua really has a look.
RP: I fired up Hart's Mill for the first time, and Jupiter
runs perfectly, just as you said it would.
I went to a meeting of the Southwest Chapter of
the Locomotive and Railroad Society this evening,
and had one hour to get it running and finish it!
I felt like one of those contestants in those baking
reality TV shows trying to beat the clock. Happy
to say that once I scraped out some glue and
ballast from inside some spots on the rails,
it worked great. Thank Heavens for that, because
all the track and trestles are firmly glued in
place- no going back! Will post some video
tomorrow, I hope, then take it to a Coin
Show in El Paso where I will spend some
time with my amazing historian friend, MacKenzie,
while we try to raise some interest and funding
for a restoration project of an 1860's baggage
coach that he found in the desert!
That's another story, will try to post some images,
background in the Railroadiana Thread later
in the week.

Good catch! Indeed it is a 2-8-4 ... or possibly even a 2-8-2
