Athearn Mountain

[japasha]

For the non-rivet counrters, the Heavy Mountain can ber made into a reasonable SP MT-2 which were ex ESPW locomotives that the SP inherited. They were used only on the Tucumcari and Ex ESPW lines because they were originally coal burners.  The Tender would be the big project here as the SP englarged the originals and finally went to a Vandy-type on some. These also got skyline casings when transferred west.

Don't look at any commercial locomotive model like the Spectrum as solely being one prototype. Get a  locomotive cyclopeadia and see what the basic types were turned into by the railroads. They customized everything.

I was speaking of the spectrum mountain with oil vandy tender (dcc w/sound) - NOT one with the square tender (oil or coal).

this guy right here:



this is oil fired, yes?
