OMI 0125.1 Heavy Pacific
Union Pacific 4-6-2 #2897
Absolutely beautiful. (But wrong). #2897 never had a front mounted bell or larger sand dome. It also had boxpok drivers much earlier. I'm excited to pick this one up. Paint is perfect and working lights too. I have new number decals on the way. OMI modeled this one after #2888. 1954 photos confirm it. Photo evidence only finds one or two other pacifics in this class with the front mounted bell but they had boxpok main drivers much earlier in their service life, and smaller sand domes, and were retired much earlier. Inspecting the decals on it, my plan is re-number it to #2888 for accuracy.
Thanks goes out to Bill D. For such a nice model.
Enjoy!
