This model locomotive
was designed to negotiate 72" radius curves. |
|
 |
|
Even the wheels were
custom cast for this project. |
|
 |
|
Tractive effort was
measured at 8.5 pounds (50% of the static weight!) |
|
 |
|
This model is a true
compound in that the exhaust steam from the high
pressure cylinders is routed to the front (low pressure)
cylinders to do more work. |
|
|
 |
|
The smokebox is
solid, except for the necessary passageways for the
exhaust. |
|
 |
|
This engine is built
to a scale of 1/4" to the foot (1:48) and operates on
"0" gauge track. |
