Jason is building engines so quickly that it looks like he ran out of room at the roundhouse and has started storing them on the roof  :D

As great as they look in the videos, it is even more impressive to see them run in person.  The detail is incredible.  I had the pleasure of meeting Jason and his engines at the N Scale convention in Milwuakee last summer.

Now that you've done West Coast and East Coast how about some Milwaukee Road for the Midwest?
Hey, thanks Roger!!

And it was nice meeting you also!
I do have castings for the Mikwaukee Road S3 4-8-4.  The tender is a oil burner.  I sold it and need to build another.

Thanks Carl!!

Here is a picture I just took, kinda thought it looked cool.  I built NYC Niagara several years ago now.

WOW!
I looked to see what you used for the tender drive, but maybe I missed it. Where do the trucks come from?

In regards to the herald location. On at least one or two T1's (Baldwin built 6110 and 6111 from 1942) it was at the rear and huge...


Notice that the DGLE looks light gray in the second photo. God only knows why. You might even think it was light blue if you didn't know that was HIGHLY improbable on the Pennsy. It does have white walls, maybe it was some bizarre color for a time.

On subsequent units (which oddly enough have lower numbers) the paint scheme was the familiar one with the logo centered...

On the units with full shrouding  the wide stripe continued down the side of the locomotive. If the shrouding was missing, so was the stripe...


Unfortunately, most photos of T1's are black and white and the tenders are dirty enough to obscure the livery. If there were other variations, it's hard to tell...


We will have to trust that the lettering diagrams were kept up to date.

Great picture, nice to see the T1 and the Niagara in UP country :). Thanks for the info on the paint and stripes.

One last note..

Any of you who have already purchased a T1 boiler casting.  If you damage detail parts or the boiler itself, once you have the mechanism built all replacement parts are free.  Just pay shipping.

Note on the proto pic of the engine with the "light gray" paint. I have seen several photos of ATSF engines in this light gray, and in all of those photos, they were identified as "portrait photos" taken at their builder Baldwin. The engines were delivered to ATSF in black. Could be that this is an erecting shop photo.
