Option 1: it is an enormous flatcar.
Option 2: that is very small engine.
I guess the crew had to be kneeling in that cab! Safety helmet mandatory?

Si Are you familiar with Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld series?
One novel called "Raising Steam" which is about the invention of the steam locomotive and the rise of the railroad.
I think you'd enjoy it.

Si, the Backwoods kit is intended for an HO Bachmann 0-6-0. The On30 2-6-0 mechanism MIGHT work...maybe with some fiddlin'. Yes, those small cabs were called "skull crackers" for some unknown reason.

Si
If you read Terry Pratchett's "Raising Steam", you will need to read the companion book. Mrs BRADSHAW's Handbook
to ravelling upon the ANKH-MORPORK & STO PLAINS HYGENIC RAILWAY.

Absolutely a necessity to read Mrs. Bradshaw's Guide!

Hi. I'm Rick, and I am a Mogulholic.
I bought another today - D&RGW "Bumblebee" livery.
I need help...

Here she sits and waits for a Porter to clear the track beyond the switch.
I have already named her "Aunt Bee".
Eagle-eyed viewers may spot the bundle of lumber for benchwork in the background.

I kind of like Aunt Bee. I may leave her as a bumblebee.
The Hawthorne-liveried Moguls are all going to be blackened and corroded; pilots removed, etc.
I have one that is painted (black/silver) and unlettered, and one black/silver Colorado & Southern #22 which I like. The unlettered one will definitely be lettered for the RC&RS.
I think I may need a Mogul Parking Only roundhouse.

As far as the sting: It was a little more than the Hawthorne Village locos.
This one was around $60 US with shipping, appears to be new (no box - in molded styro, I assume from set break-up), and it arrived in three days from ordering!
This is one of the Moguls I've wanted since I started "collecting" them, so it's worth about the cost of a decent bottle of tequila, to me.
