Despite the fact that I always thought NYC steam looked ugly, that is STILL beautiful work.

Your right it is ungly compared to a FEF, ATSF Northern, GS4... but I really have gotten to like the variety.  BTW The engine is the way it is due to low clearance on the NYC.   I did not realize that until I started building it. Thanks for the complement!!

Are you taking orders?

Are you using a brass tender from Pecos River?

Thanks for sharing your efforts! Even if it is a face only a mother would love!  :tommann:

Hahah, I love it.

Glad to see this one finished. So how much?

They definitely look better with smoke lifters (elephant ears). What did you use for a tender? Curious.

Great job on it. :D

No the tender is my casting on a Athearn centipede frame..... It worked really well.  However,  I have really developed this casting for the Kato FEF-3 when it comes out.

They are ugly as mud but then again I like Baldwin Centipedes and centercabs.  Good work.  You don't often see anyone doing NYC steam.
