Large / Cross Compound Compressor?
November 08, 2010, 09:01:13 PM
This has been bugging me all day. I've decided to do a little kit bashing on my Spectrum 2-8-0, rebuild the coal bunker, move the headlight, basic things like that.

The one thing I really wanted to add was a Westinghouse Cross Compound Compressor, much like that found on the K-27's and K-28's. I work on GB&L 40 (ex-Georgetown Loop) at the Colorado Railroad Museum, which is an outside frame 2-8-0 that has a lot in common with the Spectrum 2-8-0, which is where I got the inspiration since she has a cross compound compressor.

Does Bachmann, or anyone else for that matter, sell just the compressor off the K-27? I mean, some one had to have broken one off by now and needed a replacement. I just happen to need one for kitbashing.
