Just got this one out of the paint shop. A new L2 4-8-2 for the Big Four in my basement. I have been working on-and-off for a year (!) but finally got it done. Take a Bachmann Heavy 4-8-2, add Rivarossi boiler, make new pilot and add some details. The tender is the original B-mann USRA long type, with PSC brass trucks.
I still need to finish the marker lamps and add a coal load to the tender.
There are some compromises but overall I think it turned out OK. Hopefully it runs as nice as it did before I took it all apart!
