P1K RS2, New Run Monon Looks Good

I just received my Monon RS2 #28 from the latest run of P1K RS2s. It looks pretty good as far as paint goes, but I haven’ty had a chance to set it down for a direct comparison to pics of #28 in service. It runs very nicely and needs only a constant lighting circuit to be really first class. Of course, I wish it had the later exhaust stack, but it is a pretty nice little unit.

Normally, I model Rio Grande, but I’m planning a small module depicting the quarry to mill operations that the Monon ran on the Clear Creek branch, circa 1970.
