Cary Stuff


 

Group, Here are a couple of pix of some of my Cary projects. First is a group shot showing, front to back, a Cary USRA Heavy 4-8-2 boiler mounted on a Bowser USRA 2-10-2 chassis with a Barney tender behind it. Object is to model a PRR N2sa. Next is a Cary N1s boiler on a Bowser/Penn Line decapod chassis. Barney tender frame that I was going to use behind it. Finally, in back, a Cary M1a 4-8-2 boiler on an older Bowser USRA chassis, BLI cylinder saddle and Penn Line tender.

? ? The second picture is of the 100F85 tender kit I just picked up. I laid out the parts where they seem to belong. You can see the N1s cab details on the left and the thick brass frame piece on the right.

Hah! I knew that was coming! :-) Of course those Barney tenders will be purple... and I'm gonna mount little T-Rex arms on the smoke box doors too. My happy train family!
