    Nice picture indeed. Could have done without the yellow, but nice none the less.

    I guess each marches to a different drum beat, but I think that is a prettier locomotive that the fully streamlined one. :cool:
    Very nice work, Don. :)

    I agree on both counts!

    Excellent photograph and a beautiful engine, although I also prefer steam engines without sheet metal attachments. Frisco makes anything look good.

    Don, that looks great. Now all we need is a HO brass version.

    Steve,

    I couldn't agree more on both counts!

    A nice plastic model would be OK too!

    Oh how I wish, someday, some company, would make a steam engine that I want to own in plastic.

    I have one in brass if I would ever finish the darned thing.

    Don--It it an import? Or your scratch built?

    It's scratchbuilt.

    Don already knows I'm crazy, but I think the 1060's looked their very best in Hungerford black.

    . . . actually what I think would have looked VERY best, but as far as I know never happened (anyone know otherwise?), would have been devoid of sheetmetalwork as in the photo above, but with the gold numbers, lettering and Doric stripes that were standard on passenger locomotives before Hungerford.

    And to top it all off - a centipede tender (always liked the NYC Hudson with them).

    Gordon, I have to concur. While I appreciate the Frisco's semi-streamlining efforts because they were...well...so decidedly unique, there's something very aesthetically pleasing about many classes of Frisco locomotives without the extra sheet metal. That said, the stripes and gold lettering/numbering make for a nice, simple, tasteful adornment that added to their pleasing visual quality.

    Best Regards,
