I wasn’t going to post this, but after John Neal complained (and accurately
so) that it was too quiet in Lugnet.trains, I decided to go ahead.
As some may remember from the thread concerning my ten wheeler steam engine
“Lady”, I was considering building the Blue Mountain & Reading #425 steam
engine. The #425 is
a Pacific class locomotive, and though I was excited about building it, I’ve
already done a Pacific class, as well as a very similarly designed Hudson, so
it wasn’t going to be a very exciting build unless I changed something.
So I decided to challenge myself and build it 7-wide with a SNOT boiler,
going for as round a look as possible. Using ideas from
Tim Gould and
Benn Coifman, I was able to come up
with a ~5-wide SNOT boiler I’m pleased with.
So far I think it’s coming along well.
And here’s a quick look at the design I used (click on the pictures to see
details and notes):
Any comments and criticism is welcome.
So there you go, John. I’ve contributed to the activity to Lugnet.trains
this week. :)

Really nice work Anthony must have cost you a fortune in cheesebricks but the
final effect is really good, I’m probably more inclined to use half cylinders
and stay 6 wide but this look great,I must admit though I always admire Ben
Beneke’s 7 wide work .I better pull my finger out and finish my European Steam
loco I started a year and a half ago, top stuff keep the trains rolling.
Regards Dave
PS: When are you going to do a diesel or electric.
