Nice looking Pacific you've got there Aaron! Interesting about the boiler front. I guess there's always an untold story. Especially with a thirty year old model!
You know you're going to paint it. Just a matter of time. I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to add lighting and sound.
The Mikado? The steps were easy enough with gentle pressure the "cow catcher" not so much. I resisted the urge to increase pressure so I had it rest on the bartop with the pilot over-hanging. Facing it head on I lifted the front end with my thumbs on the front and fingers behind. I didn't push too hard but instead let gravity slowly do the work. A couple of pauses for alignment check and I was happy not to have snapped the **** thing off.
Did yours come with the box and extra boxpok driver set?
Anyway. I think possibly your being a little shy. I'm guessing you might have another photo or two to share on this forum that some others may have already seen on the other side.......
Given the views on this thread there's got to be some more UP fans with some photos to share...maybe something we haven't seen yet??? Can't be just PRR fans posting in the photo album forum lately!
