She finally made it after a long hard driven trip!
Introducing new Passenger links to the Eastern Shores of Nova Scotia
A special thank you goes to Bob Boudreau wh was able to point me in several directions during the painting and marking of 5701.
Thanks Bob!

Fergie - That is a fine looking locomotive. And a great looking layout from what I can see. OT: The coldest water I ever dove in was in Halifax in January. Why do we do these things to ourselves! LOL But it was a great dive and a favorite in my dive log. Terry
Congrats Fergie. Fine looking Steamer 
Ah, Fergie. When will this aquazition craze ever end? NEVER!!! That is a fine looking throughbred if I ever saw one. Congratulations. [:D][wow][bow][sigh]
Nice lookin’ loco, Fergie. It’s difficult to tell from the photo, but is this the brass model from the '80s(?), or the recent offering from Broadway? Or is it a very well-done kitbash of something else? In any case, very nice, and in a picturesque setting, too.

Not sure of the DOM but it is a Van Hobbies import. This was her in November

I wasn’t too sure about the date either. I painted one for a friend in the mid-seventies, as I recall. It was a beautiful loco, but had some cosmetic damage when I received it. I was pretty full of myself after I’d repaired the damage, until I tried to run it. What a dog! I ended up completely stripping down the side rods and valve gear, then rebuilding it, without the factory installed binds. I remember that when the Broadway version of this loco showed up in the LHS, there was suddenly a glut of the older brass versions on the dealer’s shelves, with corresponding sales of the newer version, so I suspect many of them suffered from the same problems as that of my friend’s. Your loco may be a more recent model, as many of the later brass models offered much improved performance. Again, very nice work.

That is indeed a work of art, something to be proud of - my congrats sir![bow]
Too bad you had to replace the Tsunamie chip though…
Very nice Fergie! Looks very good, a sharp paint scheme and a sharp locomotive. Now when do we get to see some action shots of her first revenue run?

[tup] Fergie…that engine is a touch of class…John
Sorry Noah you’ll have to wait for the release of the Rapido smooth sided passenger cars. I have two on order in CNR green and gold livery. I hauled five AHC CN Pullman’s yesterday but it was disapointing.
Ken: I called soundtraxx and the problem might have been the fact I didn’t have it hooked up fully to the motor and this could have caused confusion in the system sue to not enough back emf. I’ll have to wait until I get back from the Arctic to find out.
