HOn30 2-6-6-2
- Thread starter JBBVry
- Start date
Looks like a project based roughly on the Hammond Lumber Co./Arcata & Mad River No. 12, a 2-6-6-2 articulated built by Baldwin in 1929. 30" gauge isn't exactly prototype, but it does look like an exceedingly neato beastie that I'd be proud to own--looks like all it needs is a paint job!
Such creatures were used late in the era of steam logging--I think that one ran until 1959 on the A&MR.

The guy said it runs good it has a tender he was working on but not finished. best thing is he had a buy it now for $50 so i did. I just droped the MO in the mail tonight so i hope to have it by the 15th if the mail aint too slow.
With a little bit of paint and some weathering this should look right at home. The price is right too.

a few notes about her. she has 30 inch drivers is 57 foot from end to end. The tender is a MDC cut down to fit, and with a air tank added.
well took her to the shop today to get everything checked out she runs pretty good needs cleaning and lubeing but i think i have a winner here. does anyone know where i can find a plastic or brass C-16 cab to use on here?

Suggest you check with Precision Scale.I think they have a website but I don't have a clue as to the url.
How about MDC/Roundhouses's HOn3 consolidation. I know someone's bought them up but the parts should still be available.
I think i may stick with this one and try to add to it and make it look better. The MDC cab is way too big, both too wide and too long.
