Actually I used the photo on page 45 of Robert Turner's book "Steam
on the Kettle Valley" for inspiration, hence I chose to number it
3224. The part that I couldn't get right was the steam pipe from the
cylinder to the firebox, a lot of the photo's show this as having a
backwards bend to it before it went into the firebox. I tried bending
some styrene rod by heating it and then bending it, I could get the
first bend to work OK but never the second! I finally gave up and
made it straight.

I will measure up the drivers and thier spacing and post them when I
get time.

Very nice work Brent. You captured the look of the old 2-8-0s very

nicely. I have a photo of 3229 and it looks very close.

I just finished doing a conversion on a Model Power 2-8-0 into
something resembling a CP 3200 series that was common on the

Kettle

Valley. I posted some pictures under "Plastic Steam" in the

Photo's

  section.
