Finally got my Freight Shed sorted out.

Here is a picture of the engineers side, drivers side in Europe?

Better late than never.

Its nice to see she wasn’t scrapped. But its kind of a shame to see what they did to her. I guess all the boiler does now is add weight for traction, and rigidity to the frame.

Looks like all three axles are driven. Cool.

I see it has an airhorn (no steam whistle converted to air). I wonder if the bell still works! (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-undecided.gif)

There appears as if there is a cord that travels from the cab to the bell, so, perhaps the bell still works.(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)

Steve, would it still work without steam? (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

The cord, or the bell?

Either, or both.

I think the trickiest part of modeling this, would be the drive chains.

Ray,

I think your right there. If you could get the sprockets and chain you would be set me thinks. This is begging to be modeled.
