I think it is time for a Minarets type

perhaps something could be developed using the tooling for the old "Connie" 2-8-0 gj
A Logging Phoenix load would be interesting to see. I build all my cars just building a engine is going to be the challenge.
Similar to the loco running up at Elbe WA on the Mt Rainier Scenic Railroad?
That'll do for me!

This is standard gauge?
Backwoods Miniatures do a kit to covert the Bachmann 2-8-0 into something very similar: http://www.backwoodsminiatures.com/xbm282_01.JPG
It's the wrong scale (On30) but as the largescale 2-8-0 is much the same as the On30 2-8-0 the Backwoods Miniatures kit could be used as a pattern for whatever bits you need to add.
What a neat rendition of a logging Minarets type as a narrow gauge locomotive. Pop it here.

I've always liked the looks of that conversion from Backwoods. I'm surprised no one's kitbashed the 1:20 2-8-0 into something similar as yet.
Later,
