It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! Today's image is one from the mini steam up I did recently where I had some friends over and ran 4 of my locomotives on the new/used raised track. This locomotive is one of my favorites, a C-21 2-8-0. This locomotive is based on a real one that was built for the Crystal River RR in Colorado and there were only 2 C-21s built, this one and 360 as numbered by the Rio Grande Western in 1924.The real one was built in 1900 and scrapped in 1951. My locomotive had to be repaired over the winter due to some faulty O rings and this was it's first run after that. More details and a very short video of it operating can be seen HERE.
How do you control the speed? I noticed it was slowing down and speeding up? Radio Controlled?
ReplyDeleteNo. I am guessing the track is a bit uneven though we worked very hard to keep it level. Some of it is pressure too.
