My Sn3 model of C&S
69 began with a
scratch built tender
using the etching
sets I published a
year or so ago. |
| |
 |
|
Cast parts came from
an Overland Model of
69.
Wheels are code 88
by NWSL which
provide a more
prototypical
profile. |
| |
 |
|
No. 69 was an
unusual engine in
that it's tender
didn't have
the typical planking
on the frame deck.
Apparently the tank
sat directly on the frame. The
tender is complete
and the
engine is at about
90%.
|
| |
 |
|
The headlamp, the
stack and the air
tanks are all
fabricated from
scratch. The
headlamp reflector
is a
piece of turned
aluminum with a parabolic curve and
it gives
off a slight beam
when lit.
|
| |
 |
|
The stack has
multiple tapers as
observed on the
prototype.
On the late Baldwin
engines (B-4-D) the
air tanks were
mounted over the
taper in the boiler
and they were canted
forward - in other
words they did not
sit parallel to the
ground. |
| |
 |
|
Here 69 is complete
(more or less) and
begins her
trials. |
| |
 |
|
She sits under steam
in the midday sun,
her compressor
occasionally
huffing. Other
modifications to the
Overland
Model included
extensive reworking
of her plumbing
and back dating of
the cab. |
| |
 |
|
Note her wooden
pilot and beam.
These were simply
modified from the
stock parts.
Note also that she
does not
have a pilot deck.
Finally note the
location of the
marker
lamps. |
| |
 |
|
69 is equipped with
a Tsunami Light
Steam Decoder and
a High Bass Speaker. |
| |
 |
|
Another rare view
near the turn of the
century thought to
be on the Longs
Creek Loop just east
of Trout Creek Pass. |
