Good subject for a kitbash

This prototype locomotive would be a good subject for a kitbash and another project for Vsmith.

The aluminum top of the stack is a cover to prevent precipitation from falling into the exhaust system. Photograph was taken at the McLean sawmill site on Vancouver Island, BC.

Thanks!

Yeah, it’s still not big enough to see any real detail. I’ve been looking for a critter type project for a NWSL truck drive I have. Any more critter photos out there?

Try a web search for 25 to 40 ton locos. Also try 25 to 30 ton Plymouth locos.

I cropped the photo so the object of interest is larger.
