Thanks John! Well, you’ll be able to see my 4-4-0 run IRL when we finally meet at a show.

Since I based Jupiter off of this one, they run the same. It’s kinda funny to watch it take corners, it seems to ‘snap’ into and out of turns more than most of my other locos.

As far as the real Jupiter and #119, I included a link to the Wikipedia page for Jupiter, but I didn’t specifically point it out, so I’ll do so now.

And here’s a few pics of #119 (and in a few, the Jupiter in a different livery for some reason)

I don’t know if I’ll ever build it. It’s so very similar to my other 4-4-0, but then again it’s a very historic locomotive. I’d love to do one more small locomotive, so it’s either this one, or a ten wheeler based off the Grapevine Railroad’s “Puffy” or a 2-6-0 after the “Chatanooga Choo Choo”.

It really is bright blue and red! I'm not so sure on the yellow, what would tan look like? Tim (17 years ago, 5-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)
