I’m attempting to assemble a fleet of Rutland steamers for future operating sessions. They didn’t have a wide variety of engines in the late 40’s. I presently have 3 10 Wheelers [ with another on the way ] , 1 Consolidation, 3 Mikados. All with Legacy. 2 Pacifics, 2 0-8-0’s and 1 0-6-0. I have More than enough for what I envision. The Rutland often ran doubleheads. My Legacy steamers can be mixed and matched just like the prototype.
The duplicates are to ensure I can cover all the runs envisioned. Even if a few happen to go down and in need of repair. As far as parts. These are fairly common engines that have been re run a few times. Parts shouldn’t be an issue.
