In that vein, surely the Kingofweathering has a contribution?[8D]
Can’t help you here on that. This loco is literally just out of the shop. Those who visited WPF last week had to endure a series of rather unflattering build pics.

I posted a build thread here after finishing it as a follow-up:

So she’s looking pretty good this week now that she’s been through the electrical and paint shops.
Here’s a size comparison between #60 and a K-27.
#60 seems like a big engine on the narrowgauge, but when you get her next to a GP-30, she appears more petite.
This model runs fantastically with minimal issues. There are a couple of things I need to adjust, but it responds like its already broken in. Here it is on the hill on a 4% grade, 24" radius curve. 8 freight cars + caboose went right up the hill. In testing, she pulled 5 brass passenger cars and 2 weighted plastic passenger cars. There is room for more weight, if needed.
