Southern Pacific Cab Forward by Key Model Imports

You still need to fix that eccentric crank.  Very nice photos.

That's pretty sweet Erik. They were all that clean at least once

Amazing captures! I also enjoy the bare brass close-ups on Key's website. I bet they run like heaven.

Would love to see a Youtube review by  Gary Schrader.

HO crowd be drooling!

Those truly are beautiful shots of this remarkable model.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Gary is the one that did all the building on the corrected models for the builder. They were 7500.00 each and are all sold out. On ward for other importers. Any one know what the status on the big boy is?

As Roberto Duran said to Sugar Ray Leonard, "No mas, no mas!"    "No more, no more!"

Well maybe a couple more locos.

Gary did a YouTube review of the pilot model a few years ago at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3Uk1xiheao

The emotional impact translates nicely in your photography work, Eric.  Pulling off realism with a new penny really takes special craftsmanship IMO.

These tend to be long term projects for serious investors. JMO

Beautiful model. Great photo work, Erik. Is that bridge shot the module project you guys were working on?

Are those models?

Bob,  can expound on that.  No model is perfect, but that problem must have slipped by.  It is an incredible model that has raised the bar for steam locomotive model building.

Nice Work Erik!  It's an incredible model and many of the incredible features are not readily visible.

Just noticed Gary's review on Key's website. It seems to be an alternative mobile only site, but he goes through all the road number details and time frames. It really gives you a sense of the complexity in his research and Key's ability to deliver. What a  project! Mind blowing  really. Wow! This really makes me want to order a GS6 in WP... maybe they are next after the big boy?

Well thank you fellas, I am humbled by your comments. Yes it's a real 1/48 scale model LLKJR.

As far as the technical side there Bob2 take that up with Gary Schrader that's his deal; I just photographed it.
