Finally after 18 years and constant badgering from my club members especially DEWEY!!!, I finally broke down and purchased a MTH-Premier Southern 4-6-2 PS-4 (proto 3) Steam Passenger Set....Item# 20-3463-1. (Yes Dewey, it's a STEAM ENGINE...gasp!) I just want ya'll to know the agony that I feel! I'm in so much pain!!.......(wink-wink)..............lol................Rogerw.

Good morning Roger and I look forward to seeing a real Locomotive on your layout.

 

Once you show those Ps-4 photos I will no longer have to defend you regarding the rumor that as President of Triad Model RR Club, you had banned running steam locomotives on the Modules.

 

Real good "Breaking News" today regarding Roger's new 4-6-2  Ps-4. The bad news is that he now needs a Coaling Tower and Ash Pit. I forgot,and a tall water bucket on legs for that thirsty beast.

Yep, ran my lionel E6 but only one lap--my track is filthy with glue and some rust paint that I shakily applied to the rail sides as well as being covered with boxes and tools. A mess.

 

I had two choices for installing an Ash & Cinder Drop. One, that I copied from a crude early 1920s Drop Pit just off the old A&Y Wye in downtown Greensboro and, two, you can buy a custom made  Ash & Cinder Tower from David Duhumel as represented by the template lying beside my homemade Pit shown below. When I can find where I stored it I will post a photo of David's outstanding unit. Need to fire up a real charcoal pan and make some ashes.
