This one is going to be a CPR 5700 series conversion, I have a friend with a huge CPR steam pic & neg collection, lots of reference material. I'm working on a Spectrum WM 2-8-0 to a 3600 series CPR Consol, they're fairly close, there was an article in one of the mags of a similar conversion to a CPR subsidiary line's loco.  Regards, Russell

Hi Woody  Thank You sir!!  Russell

Hi all  I'm new here & reading the posts, find it's a nice site, I'm on a bunch of Yahoo forums & much prefer this type, great job here!!
My question is, does the SQ 2-10-0 have Walschaerts valve gear? Thanks in advance, Russell Cadotte, Vernon BC NMRA PNR member  CPR steam modeller

Stephen    I'm new here but have worked with heavy equipment many years& am an HO modeller.  A 1/64 model would work in HO if it is a steel tracked excavator, it would be a larger model, if you want you could build a smaller cab & change the model #, eg: a John Deere 690 in 1/64 would roughly become an 890 in 1/87 scale, bulldozers, rubber tired loaders, scrapers , even graders would work this way, everthing looks the same on the prototype bigger models except the cabs. Look at some of the equipment manufacturer's sites for ideas. Regards, Russell  Cadotte, Vernon BC
