While these are Full 1:48 size, posted here since they are "out of the box", no added details. Believe this is correct?
Anyhow, I am an EOM (equal opportunity modeler). That was a reason I chose MainLine Steam as my Screen Name, I like these last Brutes of the Rails. Doesn't matter which RR bought/built/ran them.
These are my favorites Steam Locomotives from two of the Great Competitors of the past. PRR (Standard RR of the World) and NYC (Water Level Route / Great Steel Fleet). You know they were in "Very Deep Trouble" when they decided they needed to Merge. Yes, I realize the Niagara's were closer to being a direct competitor to the T1's. But on an "Appearance Basis" the ESE is my absolute favorite Steam Loco - Period. The John Wilkes & Black Diamond and Hiawatha Hudson's are close behind. The T1 kinda grows on you. Subtle elegance, you know like a sledge hammer. LOL
So which do you like best? Or maybe an SP GS-4/5 or N&W J or GN S-2 or ??? Please comment.
