Finished the Niagra...... Kato GS4 conversion to NYC Niagra. Tender casting is installed on an Athearn Challenger centipede frame. What do ya think? I will likely build several more, one with smoke lifters First casting was not used due to slight imperfection Now on to work on the the ATSF 2-10-2...."T1" and S3.
Long, lean, and lanky and oozing power and speed even at rest. That long uncluttered boiler is what I like about some of the Northerns. Dang right outstanding job. I love it.
Very pretty, and brings back memories of seeing many of them at the Harmon, NY Engine Terminal in the late '40s. You have made a lovely model. Though your model has a minor glitch, all Niagara smoke boxes were painted with a dark gray graphite rather than silver as you show.
