Plus that stack screams wood burner. There is even a screen to keep the wood cinders from blowing onto the side of the track causing forest fires etc..... Most coal burners had straight stacks.

That stack is nearly the same size as Jupiter's stack, also a wood burner. The General as well....again wood burner.

The LIlly Belle stack has soooo much character next to anything else. Who cares what it burned! Remember the very nice looking Fort Wilderness engines? They had diamond stacks and I think they were oil burners.

Plus if you view that photo of CP-173, she appears to have both coal and wood on board the tender.

Dave

that locomotive came out very nicely! well done!

Thank you Penny.

I must say you did an fantastic job of modeling this engine. Great Work on it Vaderdentist. Wish it was O scale then I would had offered $$$ for it.

That's some good stuff right there!! Nicely done.....and I love your handle being a fellow Star Wars enthusiast, too.

Thank you gentlemen, LB is a labor of love. I've been renovating the room in which she'll be displayed until the fateful day that I actually have a garden layout. Until then she'll have a place of honor in a room with other G scale trains on display.

I find more and more Star Wars fans every single day. I have an office full of props and costumes and works of art from the Star Wars Universe.
