Absolutely stunning!! I love critters and that is a beauty.

Jim,

Sweet work!

What's your impression of the Stanton drive?  Can you post a video of the loco in action?

There is an extensive thread on the Railroad Line Forums about the Palmetto Brick Company RR:

Thanks for posting your handiwork.

Very nice! The louvers turned out well..always had hiccups with doing those myself.

Yeah, I echo the "how well does the stanton drive work"...looked at one last week and saw they have the power taps for dcc...nice!

Jim, just in time.  I was beginning to worry I wouldn't have something new to admire.

Well done (a usual).

Here is a cute 24" gauge 'critter' at Whiteman Park near Perth, Western Australia.  

Matt,  My apologies ... I'm the one who purchased those shells from you.  I will unashamedly say that I copied as many dimensions as possible from your exquisite work.  Ultimately, I determined that the shell should be 8" narrower but I did try to hold true to the dimensions of your cab and hood.  I used a 1/25 scale truck radiator, re-caste it in resin and then cut it down to make the front.  I used your hood to guide the curvature of mine and the roofline to guide the shape of my cab.  Many thanks for your inspiration.

I agree that the Stanton needs as much weight as possible to be a good runner and I am adding in any place that I can.

You might want to know that the original cab and hood that I purchased from you are now in the hands of another modeler who is using them to create his own critter.

Jim,

No worries...When I built it, I guestimated the width from online photos.  Eventually I located drawings with the intent of building a correct model...but haven't.  Maybe one of these days.

Glad to read my model is serving a purpose...somewhere!

Matt

Was this a resin casting....would those be available again and from whom...OG?

The loco and car dumpers were scratchbuilt from Evergreen Scale Models styrene and Tichy Train Group rivets.  The thread on the Railroad Line Forums should have my photos that show the Evergreen product numbers.

Fabulous work and this little engine is superb! Thanks Terry
