More from Gunslinger87
OK, first I want to appologise for the slight distorsion of the image. It was caused my my Mom's scanner. If I can I hopefully will be able to replace the image without the distortion.
ANYWAY..... As some of you may or may not know I have thought of a little model railroading project. Taking the chassis from an Athern/Roundhouse Old Time 2-8-0 (like that of my number 772, also posted in my gallery) and then replace the "Stock" boiler with that of the IHC (International Hobby Corp.) Old Time 4-4-0 Body shell.
Thr project would be a bit exstensive but I think worth the effort! Personaly I REALLY like the "Wagon Top" boiler design, astheticaly speaking. Hence why I want to do it, though protipicaly speaking I'm not sure how many 2-8-0's, if any, had Wagon Top Boilers.
Well what I have here is a concept scketch of what the final result would be and or look like. Keep in mind that this IS NOT to scale. When drawing the locomotive I decided that I would keep sertant parts from the original Roundhouse 2-8-0 such as the Headlight, Cab, and air pump. And I would use other parts from the IHC 4-4-0. And for final detailing I'll use brass detailparts.
Well as you can see this is a Fine looking locomotive! I am almost set with the look aside from one VERY important thing... The Smoke Stack. I don't know which kind would be bets to use, even though its for the sake of looks. ^^;
I've drawn two rendisions of this locomotive, this being the second concept. In this design I'm using the original IHC Tall Diamond Stack. I think its safe to say that this kind of stack is more "Traditional" and in terms of asthetics al little more period appropriate. But I'm still "on the fence" about wich kind of stack to use. I'm open to suggestions!
PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU FAV!!!

This stack is a better fit to the loco, it looks more in keeping with the rest of the engine and not so much like an after thought like the 'Lima' does.
Now are you going to go with colors (brown, 'Russian iron, red, blue, green...) or with the later basic black (maybe with brass and copper trim)?

Well what I was thinking is something along the lines of my Rogers 4-6-0, that HO gauge Tyco model I have.
A "Blue Angle Blue" boiler with brass bands and trim. Black Cab with yellow/gold livery/striping and a Rust Red roof. Also, since I wouldn't have to worry about a drive shaft from the tender, I'll super detail the cab interior. I plan on using the original cab from the Roundhouse 2-8-0, I like the curved roof and I think its bigger than the IHC old time 4-4-0 cab.
