Mr. Big Stuff - 2.0 - B&M R1A Mountain

[scottb613]

Hi Folks,

RE: Boston and Maine R-1-A.

I'm about done with my shape - more than doubled the polys on my old locomotive from years ago. Converted from an R-1-D to the R-1-A.

Hi Steve,

Yeah - I think they had a pretty cool steam fleet. This was their biggest and best - it was also one of the largest Mountains ever made. They wanted the performance of a Northern without the weight or cost. A Northern would have required track and bridge updates. I also like the fact they stuck with Pacifics until the end of steam. Paul Charland’s CT River Route inspired this locomotive. Thanks.

As always, Scott, absolutely beautiful. And does that video evoke the diversity of roads and car types in the steam-diesel era!

Hi Dave,

Thanks - - - like you - I prefer colorful traffic emblazoned with proud heralds representing roads from far flung corners of the country - to the spartan drab utilitarian pallet of the modern era.

Hi Jim,

Thanks - you've been around since my earliest forays into modeling.

Always a pleasure - sir.

Scott I still enjoy LHR #12, somethings never get old, unlike me.

I sure enjoyed that video, Scott! Especially the sound effects.

Used to have lunch after church every week within sight of that spot.

Hi Jim,

Yeah - I’ve placed track a few times on Rich’s LHR from Hudson Yard to Martins Creek - while I can do it - I’m just not good at it. Track laying is probably my weakest skill - I just don’t have the patience for all the small track bits. Some day…
