7.25" 2-6-0 E Steamer

Picked up another locomotive for the 7.25" railway, this time a 2-6-0 E Steamer from Dave Cole who converted it from a live steamer (simplex I think?) after the boiler failed its cert. Will cost roughly $10k to get a new boiler built. Everything runs well with no derailments so far.




A bit more done today, 1 side of the bridge decked out. Turnout at "Paina Junction" installed & operational. Sadly I've come to the end of the Aluminum track so its time to break out the 10 x 25mm bar and start welding

Safe walking platform almost complete on one side, on the remaining side I will deck out the bridge section only and back fill the other sections with dirt and top with Gap 65 Rock
