0-6-0 Brass Engine Makes Railroad Debut March 8, 2008
Posted by railroadman in Engines, Model Railroading.1 comment so far
I have finally broke down and purchased my first brass 0-6-0 engine. It is a AT&SF Santa Fe 2100 Class. It doesn’t really fit my Canadian flavor but the price was right. My intent one day is to weather it up as older leased power to my railroad. It runs pretty good out of the box as most can motor engines do, but once I spend a few hours lubing it and removing any burs on the gears it will run perfectly. Here she is sitting in Gainesville after a quick splash of water awaiting clearance from a eastbound passenger.

These will provide for great before and after shots once the scenery is complete.
CN 7914 (Kato NW2) working the yard at a busy time of the day.
The CN 7358 0-6-0 west bound freight can be seen here passing a freight train waiting on the siding. I have already changed the couplers on the GP7 to Kaydees if your wondering.
