When I looked at that one, it reminded me of all the folks on here who complain about people trying to run big locos on tight curves and the overhang it creates. ;D
Feel like a Mogul.

To be fair though, most of the time, the overhang on the prototype would max out at just over what was in that pic, while in small scale, even at large-radius curves the boiler is hanging over thin air if it was scaled back up.

It would drive some people plum crazy if they had to watch my O27 "General" on standard O27 track. I could probably put a mower blade on the pilot to keep the weeds down along the outside of curves.

Thanks for the MP pictures.  I'd seen the first two, the others were new to me.

Here's something you don't see every day, a one-truck Heisler.

For when you need a train, but only have room for a train car.

I'm pretty sure that little Heisler is a fireless loco.  No visible stack and the fat boiler.  Heisler made a number of fireless locos over the years.  I saw one in operation at a power plant in Alexandria, VA back in the early 1970's.
