Jon, it's the same as the Allegheny except for smaller sand domes and some piping differences. Maybe the tender is slightly different too. One odd thing I did was the get my reverse linkages working. Actually, I fixed a number of things, but the tendering lettering was the biggest in my opinion. Those are Arttista figures of course. Headlight is improved, bell polished with housing painted black, valve handles painted red, coupler height corrected, terrible white line removed (some kid painted them by hand in Korea), smoke unit recessed, one smoke unit removed (they wouldn't work with two, but I have the second unit), etc.
It's number 16 of 55. Not sure why I remembered 48.

I think it was a good idea to remove the "white stripe" it detracts from the overall appearance. According to Gary, the only difference between the tenders is that the Blue Ridge tender should sit higher. To bad on the smoke units, I'll bet it would be something to see them both going!!! Did it ever both work?
Running that red block Charlie.
It would be easy to connect again. Just two wires which are simple to pull out the stack. Remember, this engine came with those Suethe smoke units. They smoke insanely. Two would blow you out of the room. I never run my Suethe units because it's just too much smoke and they need constant filling. Basically a pain in the *** once you're used to modern smokers with regulated shut off and smoke amount.

Well, hobos, my farm-bred, kick-ass, brass-ovaried, nitro-methane, laugh-a-minute-but-ya-better-duck-the-next REDHEAD, is today celebrating the day she dropped outa her momma's womb and hit the ground runnin'.
Raise a cup, boys, if you get a second!
In the meantime, let me tune up this gee-tar a moment, *twing-twing-TWANG*, there we go...
*cough*...
When I get off of this jobsite,
you know where I want to go,
straight up the Susquehanna River
to Columbia Coun-ty-o,
To Orangeville, Pennsylvania,
to little Kimmie-girl that I once knew,
She told me just to come on by
if there was anything she could do,
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me,
if I spring a leak, she mends me,
I don't have to speak, she defends me,
a hobo's dream if I ever did see one!
I take up all of my earnings
and I give my little Kimmie half,
so she lets me play with her monkey
just for a laugh,
But there's one thing in the whole wide world
I sure do like to see,
that's when that little love of mine
lets me dip my doughnut in her tea,
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
if I spring a leak, she mends me,
I don't have to speak, she defends me,
a hobo's dream if I ever did see one!

The Birthday Cake Polka
Put another candle on my birthday cake
We're gonna bake a birthday cake
Put another candle on my birthday cake
I'm another year old today
I'm gonna have a party with my birthday cake
Come on and take some birthday cake
Put another candle on my birthday cake
I'm another year old today
We'll have some pie and sandwiches
and chocolate ice cream too
We'll sing and play the day away
and one more thing I'm going to do
I'll blow out the candles on my birthday cake
and when I do, a wish I'll make
Put another candle on my birthday cake
I'm another year old today

Engineer Bill's Theme Song
See her rollin' down the track,
See her puffin' smoke so black---
Who's at the throttle?
(Woo-Woo) that's Engineer Bill!
See those drivers whirlin' 'round ---
See that engine cover ground,
Who's at the throttle?
(Woo-Woo) That's Engineer Bill!
From the round-house every day,
He always get the right of way,
Folks all know the whistle's cry.
Means Engineer Bill is passing by.
See her steamin' into town---
From the cab who's wavin' down,
Who's at the throttle?
(Woo-Woo) That's Engineer Bill!
