Here is a Model Die Casting 0-6-0 that I threw together a few weeks back. It is not a model of any particular prototype, but was fun none the less. I built up the coal bunker on the tender to more closely resemble something that may have been found on the Duluth, South Shore, and Atlantic.
I am trying to find a model close enough to the monster in the b&w photo to make one or two of them. They were 2-8-2 Mikados
purchased used from the New York Central and were the largest steam locos to run on the DSS&A. I don't know if they ever made their way into St. Ignace, but I'm sure they would have been quite a sight! I'm holding out for just the right starting point to recreate these locos. Not just any mikado model will do! Any tips?
