Light Mountain Alaska RR #801

[pjd]

Several years back I restrained myself to buying and building only RR equipment that had operated in Alaska. As a result I have had to build most of it myself via kit bashing. I am not a rivet counter but rather consider myself an artist. First my models must operate properly, and then make a credible representation of the prototype on one particular day of their service life.

Here is an example: alaskarails.org/creations/PD-801/index.html

You will have to guess what plastic RTR model was the foundation for this project. There are really very few options.

Pat,
Outstanding work on a very unique locomotive. Your attention to the little details realy makes it shine. At least the crews were able to stay warm in the cab in the winter...but man those hot Alaska summers must have been hell !
Keep up the great work.

Could be wrong but it looks like a Mantua 2-6-6-2 boiler to me... Really nice!!!
