Apocalypse Joe. Chapter 1.
 The sun beat down relentlessly upon the scorched earth that was the unforgiving Arizona desert. One could see the heat waves rising off the hot sands. Clumps and random spottings of desert foliage endured the intense climate. And in some areas red sand stone peeked out from the light colored grains of scilica. Even in this environment life can be found. In the sky above vultures circled over head and beneath them was the reason why. Below their feathered wings was a dry shallow, but rocky, stream bed. Laying within it was a man. He was tall and lean, his blue uniform told that he was a soldier of the Union Army. His clothing was worn, torn,

Wow... About time I actually posted something isn't it!! ;p

Anyway, this is one of my "What If" locomotive designs. The idea behind this one is what if a Mason Bogie working on a particular railroad ended up in a wreck and the railroad then rebuilt the engine as a 2-6-0 tender loco? Well I believe I captured what the end result would be quite well!

The paint scheme was actually the biggest challenge rather than the drawing itself. Since I plan on building an HOn3 layout I worked on a paint scheme for what our locomotives will have. A similar scheme to my Empire River & Western. This one was made more colorful simply because the engine "used" to be a 2-6-6 Mason Bogie. And I like the brightly colored schemes they applied to them.

My one grip in terms of the scheme are the tender mounted air tanks. Originally I was going to color the tender entirely black and so I painted the tanks blue, but then I changed my mind and now I think the tanks would look better being black. That way it balances out better.

I would LOVE to try and build this in On30, though HOn3 will be a bit of a challenge. Well anyway, I hope you guys like it! PLEASE leave comments, you know that I like to hear what you think!! :iconfoxyayzplz:

maybe it's just the drawing, but it's looks small enough to fit in someone's back yard. Ever heard of Ward Kimball?

And his Grizzly Flats Railroad, consisiting of a two 0-4-2 Baldwin locos. #1, "Chloe" and #3, "Olomana". And his 1882 Baldwin 2-6-0, the "Emma Nevada" (formerly of the Nevada Central NG) and its passenger coach, "#5". (formerly of the Colorado & Carson)

Nope, never heard of Ward Kimball! ;p :iconfoxhahaplz:

I went to Ward's place and rode the Grizzly Flats Railroad a couple of times before he passed away. He was quite a character and had an awesome collection of toy trains. :D

All say for the Olomana. Last I checked it was on display in the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum in Strasburg, PA.
