Steam locos
Older Style Wooden Coaling Towers
These are a couple of coaling tower models I picked up over the years. I think they are plastic models, but you wouldn't know that from their excellent appearance.

What's on your workbench - June 2020
A new month with new projects. Let's see what you have!
My latest: A Westerfield ATSF Bx-13 boxcar with some additional wood weathering to go. With the virus and social plans on hold for the summer, it's a great time to build out all of your kits collecting dust!
Please show us your Pacific's & Hudson's... for the sake of our sanity :)
I am new to the MRH Forums so please excuse me if this isn't the correct place to put a request. I know there are many of you who would really appreciate a chance to show us your collection, and so I have decided to start this thread to give you all a chance to show off your locomotives... namely steam locomotives...
Help identifying S Scale 0-4-0 Steam Switcher
Hello All,
Could I get some help identifying this S Scale Steam swiitcher. It's made of metal, and weighs 1 Lb 7 oz.
Inherited as one of several engines from my father who was avid modeler. I'm consdering which to keep for my kids and which to sell.
No mfgr notation anywhere. I'm wondering if it's a painted black brass type?
Pics attached.
It runs though think it needs some attention to run on a track unassisted

Rapido Royal Hudson jerky running at lowest speed setting
I’m finally giving my Rapido Royal Hudson a proper test run after replacing and glueing one of the rear driver traction tyres which came off for the second time. ????
Well that seems ok now (a thin smear of rubber cement) but I’ve noticed a distinct jerkiness in forward and reverse at speed level 1 (28 speed steps) on my NCE PowerCab controller. All the valve gear motion etc seems fine, it doesn’t seem to be binding anywhere.
Has anyone else come across this problem with a Rapido Hudson?
Arrggghhh - Proto 2000 Heritage 0-8-0 split gear
The subject line sums it up. The #4 axle with the gear is split, so are 2 other axles.
I have done 3 of these 0-8-0's in the last year for friends (install Tsunami, LED lighting, etc) and dodged this problem, looks like loco #4 is going to be the problem child.
Reading the various threads on MRH and MRR indicate that Walther's doesn't carry the parts and doesn't want to deal with the locos built before they bought the Life-Like brand.
NWSL? Thoughts?
IC # 3715 at the Monticello Railway Museum railroad
A close friend has done many steam locomotive modifications for my Illinois Central themed, museum railroad.
Attached are some photos of the latest locomotive which started life as a Bachmann 2-6-0 but now is IC, #3715.
Enjoy,
Barry
