Large Scale Central

#488 in the afternoon sun

Been spending a lot of time getting the railroad ready for the “Big Train Show”. #488 out in the afternoon sun.

My N scale will also be on the tour

Nice. Great looking loco.

Is that the Accucraft K-36? And if so is that the stock coal load it comes with? Looks really good if it is. Most factory coal loads are not “full” enough.

I had to redo the coal load on my KISS K-36 to look more realistic.

Compare these two:

Factory coal load

Modified coal load

I didn’t like the coal load and I also wanted to add boards to the top of the coal bunker so I built a new removable coal load that looks far better than the stock coal. Yes, its a Accucraft K-36 with mods to make it operate on some very sharp curves (8’ Diameter)
