Large Scale Central

B&A 4-6-6T

Hi All, Does anyone have drawings for this in G scale?

Check with Kalmbach. There was a drawing in MR of that engine or one like it in the fifties I believe. They may have it archived.

It most likely was in HO in which case you’d only have to triple each measurement fpr 1:29.

Very interesting locomotive. :slight_smile:

Looks like the result of a rear end collision. No fixin’ ugly!

Brian, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the trainbuff.

I think that engine is cool looking. It looks big robust and capable of pulling a mountain.

How would it be classified given all the extra wheels under the attached tender? a 4-6-?

If it pulled away from its real tender it could be a overgrown Forney.

It is a very interesting locomotive.

They were used on commuter trains and were so successful they lasted into the 1960’s

It’s a 4-6-6 according to the usual USRA Whyte notation, derived from the number of axles under a rigid frame-set, just like any tank locomotive.
