Accessories.

NYC 4-6-4 Hudson Commodore Vanderbilt 2023 03

These are attached under the pistons.

BLI leaves them off as the front trucks need to move 'out' past where these 2 'skirts' are attached.

I'll have to see if my 48" minimum radius is sufficient to leave them on the engine.

NYC 4-6-4 Hudson Commodore Vanderbilt 2023 04

Usual tender 'set up'.

NYC 4-6-4 Hudson Commodore Vanderbilt 2023 05

Traction tires on the last set of drivers.

Besides the usual 'clam shell' some soft paper plus soft plastic over the top of the engine.

PRR S-2 6-8-6 BLI 2023 02

Not the 'usual' tender trucks with brass contacts.

PRR S-2 6-8-6 BLI 2023 03

PRR S-2 6-8-6 BLI 2023 04

I prefer this 'normal' type of 'draw bar' that is, also, found on brass engines.

There is a choice of 3 different holes.

PRR S-2 6-8-6 BLI 2023 05

Marker lights are colored 'jewels'.

PRR S-2 6-8-6 BLI 2023 06

Nicely detailed.

I used the '3rd hole' in the 'draw bar' to get a scale distance from engine to tender.

Has a 'deck plate'.

My S-2 made by Alco in 1977 that I painted, added lights and a TCS 1517 decoder.
