It has gone very quiet out there so I thought this picture my cheer some of you up.

Two Australian Class 59s. The rear one an original oil burner the front one a later conversion to coal. They were built by Alco and shipped out during WW2. When I have got them to my liking I am also going to strip off the buffers so you US cousins can use them. Oh yes and switch the driving position again.

Note these have their own crew, a new venture for me. If you get the proportions of a loco wrong only the rivet counters notice. If you get the proportions of a human wrong we all notice!!!!!! (That was my excuse anyway)

Looks like a derivative of the USRA Light Mikado.
Should look right at home on the Ohio Rails lines.

I'm working on a series of activities for OVS featuring steam. It's amazing you can take a model such as Canton and change it completely just by shifting to a different era.

How would I change Canton signals to semaphores?

Nice models. Can we get them from train-sim?
