Here is my friend Jim's Pearce Consolidation. I have his permission to post his photos, but use it sparingly. This is a worthy place.
This model is so attractive I patterned mine after it. I may even get "Erie" decals!

Bob, Hahaha, I remember that Erie 2-8-0! That was my dad's. I think he acquired it sometime in the 1960's. For years it wore basic black. One day I said that thing needed a paint job. So...there it is. I wanted colorful graphics on it. I also added the removable front end air tank. I sold that on ebay some years back. Glad it ended up somewhere safe, whoever that Jim is. The 584, meaning that is when it was last painted, (May 1984)
