This is my version of the truly bizarre Erie L-1. Built by ALCO for the Erie in 1907, she was, at the time, the largest locomotive in the world, as well as the only articulated camelbacks ever built. Only three were ever built, I chose to number mine after the last of the three simply because most models I’ve seen are of the first two.

An excellent build with several innovative techniques (and a nice sampling of good ideas from others too). Now all you need are about 50 coal cars to push upgrade to complete the set (grin).

Thanks, Benn! Yeah, I’ve borrowed quite a bit from a lot of people. Someday I’ll have to sit down with Flickr and note where credit is due.

As far as coal cars are concerned, I need to build rolling stock, period. Pretty soon my locomotives will outnumber them! (You should see her helping my Polar Express/Pere Marquette #1225, they make a great looking pair.)

(...) Oh, I just meant that this point a builder of just about any nice looking piece of rolling stock would have to list 50+ people where they got ideas from. The fact of the matter is, we borrow ideas from each other all the time. (...) Grin Benn (16 years ago, 9-Jan-09, to lugnet.trains)
