North Pacific Coast RR #21 - the "Thomas Stetson" in On3 scale - scratch built brass
Several years ago, I built this model of the North Pacific Coast Railroad's "Thomas Stetson" cab forward steam locomotive. The drivers and wheel-sets, along with the detail castings are Kemtron / Precision scale. The remaining is scratch built from .015" sheet brass. The motor is a double shafted Cannon coreless can type, which fits into the boiler and includes a flywheel on the shaft end toward the firebox. The opposite shaft is connected to a NWSL idler gearbox which drops down from the boiler at the rear drivers. Power is supplied through the rail to the tender and the locomotive, the same way other brass models are powered. This engine also has functioning slide valves and inside valve gear. It is made to On3 (O scale narrow gauge).
