Large Scale Central

Getting steamed this weeked

Thursday - Sunday Kim and I will be playing over at Portersville, Pa. But not with Ga 1 stuff… something just a bit larger… I get the big beast…

Kim gets the littler one.

If anybody happens to be in Western Pa. this weekend, please drop in and say “Hi!” http://portersvillesteamshow.homestead.com/ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Northwest-Pa-Steam-Engine-Old-Equipment-Assn/144288548936562

Cool!
How does that Beast couple to the drive line?
It looks like they mounted a steam tractor to a 3 ton truck.
Take some pics of that thing for me, please?
I see a model in the future. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

A gear drive to a countershaft, then chain down to a right angle mine conveyor gearbox hooked to the driveshaft then the Ford 2 speed rear end.
I’ll try to remember to crawl under to take a pic

Mik,
You don’t have to go that far.
I’d like to see some pics of that monster from four sides.

I’ll see about those pix. Meanwhile, I hope these will prove slightly interesting.
