Pennsylvania 2-10-0 Decapod and X-54 Box Car.

I’ve had these built for a while now but have been dragging my feet as far as posting them. Some of you may have seen the Decapod and cars at BrickWorld but if not I present them to you now.

  
Hey cale, If I didn’t say it at Brickworld I’ll say it here. WOW!!!!! Your work is truly inspirational. The amount of detail poured into all of your train MOC’s is fantastic and I love that you’ve included the history of the prototypes as well.


Thanks

   Particularly with you steamer I really do appreciate the incorporation of drive rods as so many people omit them even though they are the most important part of the model.

The rods add so much personality to a steam model. Without them it’s just not as interesting.

   The use of car tires as tanks under the cab is also a neat trick.

Oh hey, on the x54 boxcar could you post a few more photos of the door mechanism. It looks like your using an internal slide but I can’t quite figure it out.

The doors for the X-54 were inspired by Christopher Masi’s Millyard Box Car.

Paul S. D’Urbano also used the technique for his Checkerboard Boxcar.
