C&O K3

[BaltoOhioRRfan]

Here's a C&O K3 i did out of a F-19 Pacific by Rivarossi. I still have some tweaks to do but its all in all almost ready for operation.

My intent was to take a second F-19 and put it on an IHC chassis and then use the IHC shell for a new pacific, the Mikado shell on the IHC didn't fit on the Rivarossi pacific chassis for the F-19

Heres the K3


(i know the road number is wrong)
I bought a second F-19 and turned it into a K3

Here's a shot of the F-19 that i still have. I got the one above off ebay and noticed after i took it all apart and started the modifcations that someone somewhere swapped the tenders from a vanderbuilt. I may or may not eventually give the K3 a Vanderbuilt Tender.

Your locomotive projects always turn out so attractive.  Keep 'em coming and I'll keep enjoying them.  Would love to see them hauling a consist. 

Bravo and thanks.

Thanks, might be 2 weeks before shes put into service(A, I don't have a layout so i'd have to set one up, and B, i need a McHenery Coupler for it, i may put a Kadee box on it, not sure yet). I'll be doing a photo of her soon for my website, I'll have a caboose behind it for that photo.

Ok a few more shots, one is for Jonathan, i know they more then likely didn't pull the overland coaches but it was the only thing within reach at the time haha.

hey jonathan you have aim?

[jonathan]

Thanks for thinking of me.  I have aim, but don't know how to use it.  I think it's an age related thing.

Regards,
