I bought this Baldwin on my last visit to Back2Bay6 I had no intention of buying it. I was there to pick up some Cain Howley viaduct sections. I had told myself I might look for a loco suitable for converting into a halloween train... instead I walked away with the Baldwin.
I did`t have a plan for it until I saw Mel Turbett`s excellent work on his locos and decided to anglicise it... It will very much be a work in progress as I`d eventually like to replace the smokebox door and cab too!
It`s likely to not get run much as we generally seem to run Thomas and Friends... but given it was the last thing I bought from Steve it`s unlikley i`ll part with it.
I`ve also started to put together a goods train to go with it including some Swift Sixteen wagons and a brake van (more photos later)
I need a name for it at some point!
