More to follow soon… but that’s all for tonight. Matthew (OV)

Sweeter! :smiley:

Wow! Matt, that is cool.

Nice loco.

Now this is what I call super creatimagineering i.e. the guys in the shop knew exactly what they needed and where to find it. :cool: :cool:

That’s a lot of work - and it looks great!

Nice!

A comparison shot: SCRY #6 with an as-delivered B-mann 2-6-6-2.

You know, I've thought for some time it'd be fun to do a visiting locomotive .... but not this one! Anyone wanting to run this one who doesn't end up assigned to test it in its current digs will have to make the trip to the SCRY once it's in visitable condition, or hope that I get the "Virtual Engineer By Web" program sorted out ....

But … the good news is there should be live cab rides available in the foreseeable future.

Oh, and Victor … actually breaking it would be grounds for a hearing, I’m pretty sure! That’s not why the position is called “Brakeman” you know … it’s just a coincidence of the language.
