Alco 2-6-2T in 16mm

[Hydrostat]

Hi, Les,

what Ray and the others said. Looks like it could start running immediately. No way to identify this being built from plastics! Which size / weight does the model have?

Happy new year!

Cheers,
Volker


P.S.: I'm with Russ concerning the color in the pictures. The rust looks somewhat redish and a bit arbitrarily positioned. For a 'running' loco you may add some more coal dust / oil stains around the footplate and some 'polished' areas at parts often touched like the handles and so. The frame /wheelsets / drive look spot on, but the upper chassis lacks a bit a color conjunction with the lower parts.

Hi Volker,
just measured it  34 cm (for Europeans!), 13 inches in "real money".  The weight I find incredible for styrene, its tricky to pick up but is quite heavy (mind I've been modelling in 1/35th before and to me this is BIG!!!!). I've enjoyed building it - now looking at a Kitson steam tram engine in the same scale (16mm or approx 1/19th).
