Old Time Classic Photo's Of The Locomotives On The Roster Of The "New" JJJ& E  (Continued)

An old Time Classic Photo Of A NP W-5  Class Coal Burning Mikado # 1825. This locomotive was kit bashed from a generic Kato Mikado using a GHQ pewter kit. I used a standard Mikado tender as there is a ESU Lok-Sound 3.5 decoder and a mini-oval speaker in the tender. Normally a short tender would be used making this locomotive a NP W-3 Class coal burning Mikado. This locomotive will pull over 50 cars easily on level track.

An Old Time Classic Of  A South Western Portland Cement Company # 12 Two Truck Shay.  This two truck Shay is on the long 1 1/2%  grade in the Monterrey Mountains. The gears on the engineers side of the locomotive are fascinating to watch in person. The maximum speed of # 12 Two Truck Shay is 10 MPH. I placed a Lenz 521W decoder in the back half of the cab of the Shay. The Lenz 521W decoder was the smallest decoder available at the time of installation.
