P&WV 2-6-6-4

[Nigel]

Hi;

Has anyone tackled making a model of the P&WV 2-6-6-4 locomotives?

I have been planning one for years, but have not yet found the time to start on the project. My inclination is to use a PRR M1a/M1b boiler as a form (and I am looking for one at a low price), shortened Mantua 2-8-0 chassis, with gearboxes from a Mantua 2-6-6-2.

Any suggestions and sources of information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Nigel

Just for fun, some of what kept the 2-6-6-4s company:

This is the George Elwood page these items came from.

There is a book source listed at the bottom of this one.

Hope this helps out.

Thank you !!

I have actually had all those for a while, and the I bought the book when it first came out.

Now I trolling around trying to find out if I missed any resource.

Thanx again.
