Thanks. I knew you were interested in side by side photos. My lokie is getting closer to being finished. A few small details, installation of the Losi ESC & battery pack and then paint.
The second new Porter may become a 2-6-0 if I can find a set of drive wheels on the cheap.

I haven't been working on the lokie for over a week. I was waiting around in Laredo, TX and had just added the smokestack when my wife called to let me know one of my best friends passed away. I was able to get from Laredo to Sudbury, Ontario in two and a half days to attend his funeral and had the honor of being asked by his family to be a pallbearer.
Anywayz, to bring this post up to date the addition of this one little item really makes this critter look the part of a steam engine.

The loco is looking great DW. So Sorry to hear of your friends passing. I lost my Father in law a week ago and another friend this last week. totaling 3 in the last 30 days. Modeling hasn't been on my mind no doubt
Your work is inspiring to say the least. 2.5 days Wow!

Thanks Bob. It's taking shape and I definitely enjoy doing this type of modeling. No way I'd ever go back to "table top" stuff... even though I have 20/20 vision. 
Yeah, I boogied. That last day out I drove the truck 631 miles, then did another 489 to Sudbury doing 70-80mph. 1120 total in 20 hours.
Losing my dog Keylock and my friend in a five week span has been hard on me. :(

If you hadn't posted the prototype pix, I'da never believed it!
Now you need some place to carry sand (in front of the side tanks? On the pilot beam?) and you are good to go.

Herbicide, the KLM shop guy will figure something out. He's a resourceful cuss.
