Little River Logging Co. Pacific

I saw the 2-4-4-2 a couple years ago in pieces in Tillamook, Oregon.  It's supposed to be steam ready next year.

I had a look, not a good one, as it was sitting in its metal pole building engine house (similar to one somebody on here wanted to model after a shortline in MD?),at the

Little River RR tourist operation in Coldwater, Mich., about halfway between Chicago

and Detroit just above the Indiana line.  The engine house is about 3 blocks west of

a classic victorian brick station, which is across from a large wooden freight station,

that is now a pizza joint. (Don't see many of those wooden freight stations these days).  The tourist train will run today, but I didn't want to stay overnight. 

The loco was in the shed with its smokebox open, and there was too much around it

to get a decent photo.  There were two interesting "WWII troop train" cars being used

for passenger equiptment (as available from Weaver).  Now if they will gets its historical companion 2-4-4-2 running out in Oregon, maybe that would cattle prod one

of the manufacturers in 3 rail into modeling it.

Nice video, Jake!  Hopefully you won't have to wait too long before the articulated is ready for video.

The Little River locos would be nice to see in O.  Not too likely to see the Pacific though.  Maybe 3rd Rail would do the pair?

Nice video, but reminds me of a lot of backyard dogs.  One barks, they all gotta bark.

One blows the whistle, they all gotta blow the whistle . . .
