Nicely modeled Ray!

 

I especially like the coal bunker extensions.  I’ve scratched a few oil bunkers for my 2-8-2s, but did not add coal extensions like you did.  Nicely weathered and I like the real-coal loads too.

Jim,

 

For what it's worth, I modified two the Proto2000 2-10-2's. I added the Elesco FWH to my 6308 and a Worthington FWH to my 6306. See photo. I also increased the height of the coal bunkers and adder HO coal. Added some other brass casting and then weathered it. It's easy to make these changes. See photos.

Thank you Louis!

 

That is a beautiful photo of No. 6308.  I can use that for accurately upgrading that Proto-2000 that starred in the video.

 

Always good info in this group!

Jim

Jim - BEAUTIFUL modeling, but the date couldn't be June 1958.  CB&Q Class M-3 2-10-2 type No. 6308 was sold for scrap in March 1954.  In fact, the entire roster of Class M-3 locomotives were sold for scrap during 1953 and 1954, Plus your No. 6308 had an Elesco feed water heated, not a Worthington as modeled. See attached image of No. 6308. Nonetheless, very well done! - Louis

As a follow-up to my HO scale Colorado & Southern Ry cab ride video, I've created an operations-oriented video entitled "Turning a Steam Locomotive":

https://youtu.be/nR8wGvz_KUI

This video follows the Denver Rice Yard Engine Foreman as he readies an incoming (leased CB&Q)  2-10-2 steam engine for its next assignment.  I think you can see why sound and animation make this a popular job during operating sessions.

It's a bit different than most model railroad videos, and I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks.
