DRG&W 489 WIP
This is my first attempt at a steam engine. I'm working on Denver and Rio Grande Western's Engine 489. It now operates on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. Currently, it is powered by two M-motors in the boiler, but I'm not sure if it will stay that way. It would really need traction bands to perform well. Also, the IR receiver is only temporarily located in the cab. I am going to try to fit it in the tender. As you can see there is still a lot of work that needs to be done, any comments, suggestions, and ideas are welcome. Credit to GCarstensen for the counterweights.
