Well my Minitrix shitbash sits about a foot plus too high...  Sold American!

Dave, please.    :facepalm:  That model set the standard for PRR connies! :o

Jason that looks really nice on there- Glad I finally got a Bachmann unit for Christmas.

Can't wait for those T1 truck castings either.

1st H-10 castings-
Color adjustment looks a little strange but is to show detail.






Here is how the T1 trucks will look when sent out.  Yes I've had a delay but they should ship out this next week.

How much money do I throw at you? and is there an empty version of the tender? I plan to add coal crushed from a lump picked up along an old PRR line beside a former station in NJ.

I'm still going ahead with my kitbash version since i've got the shell parts cut and ready to glue, but this just means in the end I may end up with a trio rather than just a duo.
If the price is right on your shells, i'll have to make sure my super-cheap source orders two bmann 2-8-0's rather than just one.

Thanks Everyone,
Dave.... Steam, there is not substitute!

Lemo- I know you love the Pain!

This will be the last new boiler for a while I need to catch up on things........... Like the T1,M4, 4-12-2, EF1 and 2-10-2's

Perhaps this answers the other questions.......


Jason,

The shell looks perfect, although I think it's more an H9 than an H10, but who cares. :)

Where do I sign up for an H10, Jason?  And is the K4 still in the queue?

Super,

Did you have to mill or otherwise modify the chassis to fit the shell on?

Any chance of you doing an I1?, since there is a mechanism,
Thanks

Sorry for the slow response guys things got really hectic. 

As for the consolidation the round ring where the headlight goes has to be cut off ( to avoid shavings I cut it off  with old rail cutters) but that was it.

As for a I1 there is a chance but I really need to catch up on all of the projects I started. 

T1 tender trucks  everyone who order a casting please cover my shipping...   $5 dollars should do it.

Again sorry for the delay.

So, what mechanism would be in there for the I1?  (I assume this is not a splice of Kato Mikado frames, but a ready-made 5-driver mechanism?)

A driver added mikado is all to easy.  For those who would rather not pay 700 for a brass model and do not feel like milling a frame they could always go for a Bachman 2-10-2..... Trailing truck removed.


How am I getting tricked into this.....   Max is still a Pennsy lover at heart.

Sorry Cody..... 75.00.  The tenders come loaded to allow the casting to be a thicker cross section at the angled end of the coal bunker ( I could not cast it empty).  Of course the coal load could be cut out.
