After the fun I’ve had building that fictitious Russian locomotive a while back I have now turned my attention to making a 1:32 scale model of a locomotive that used to run here in Maine. Back in the 90’s the Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad bought some Swedish rolling stock and a locomotive to run on the scenic railroad in Unity, Maine. Here is the work so far on the Statens Järnvägar 4-6-0 class B. #1149 “Spirit of Unity”
I’m building the locomotive from a Bachmann 4-6-0 chassis which I took a Dremel to in order to fir the boiler later on. When finished it’ll hopefully be able to get as close to the photo above. It’s also going to be manual battery powered like the engine I built before.
