The "new" JJJ&E In N Scale

[Powersteamguy1790]

Great detailing in N-scale , in any scale , love the steam , wish there were some Rock Island and good running ATSF steamers.

Thanks Jan:

Try and  find some Undecorated Kato Mikado's and decal the Mikado in ATSF road name like the Mikado below. With traction tires installed and a break-in period of at least 10 hours this Mikado will pull 20-25 cars on level track. This is a generic Kato Mikado.

These are the complete bags of details parts for the PRR L1-s locomotive. None of the parts are labeled. Reading the instructions for this installation is a must. By the time you complete this kit, you will know intimately all the parts needed to complete this kit. You will definitely learn the names of all steam locomotives parts, where they go and what they do.








To get this:

Thanks Curt. From a bag of pewter parts to finished PRR L-1s Mikado's. Each locomotive took about 30 hours to finish, paint and weather.

An old  B&W  photo of two Southern Ms-4 Mikado's, #4910 & #4839 on main line tracks in San Marino. Both locomotives were kit bashed from generic Kato Mikado's using GHQ pewter detail kits.

Old time classic photo of a UP "Challenger" #3977 on the bridge of the turntable. The "Challenger" is ready to leave the turntable on one of the two exit tracks to the Switching Yard. The 24 stall Roundhouse is in the background filled with steamers of all sizes. Most of the stalls of the Roundhouse are filled with steam locomotives ready to roll.
