Two of my favorites.

I built the 0-6-0 camelback from a heavily modified Locomotive Workshop brass kit in 1990. I had a B&O diagram and some photos of it and its sister, number 30 as references. It was the very last Staten Island Rapid Transit (B&O's NY Terminal subsidiary for freight operations) steam locomotive in operation by 1945 and was retired in August of that year.

Yes, camelback engineers frequently sat on the cab windowsill when operating these locomotives. Cab space was very tight and very HOT as well!

This Alco S-2 is a Custom Brass import of the late 1970's and has had modifications made to more accurately model its prototype. SIRT 489 was delivered in June 1944 and was the last new locomotive for the SIRT.
