Prototype Information
The OPLC had at least 3 2-6-2T on the roster, No.8, No. 3, No. 27.
The WWSL
One of the WWSL's future modeling projects is the modeling
of
representative locomotives of the Class 1 and Class 3 (logging)
locomotives used in the Montesano Wa. area stored on a display shelf and
maybe posed on the WWSL for a vignette photograph.
Modeling Information
There are a number of saddle tank locomotive models in HO scale in both plastic and brass.
Oriental LTD and Northwest Short Line have Alco HO scale HO 2-6-2T's in brass. They look very similar to Schafer Brothers Lumber Co 2-6-2T #8. Bachman has a discontinued model of an 0-6-0 saddle tank locomotive. This model can be found occasionally on EBay. The running gear and the length of the cab are not consistant with the SBLC saddle tank 2-6-2Ts.
Engineering Information
Bachman
also has the Cab w/Boiler Assembly, Cylinder Assembly and miscellaneous
ancilliary parts available for purchase on their parts web site. The
fact that it would be a non-powered model lends to an idea of purchasing
the Cab, Boiler and Cylinders, scratchbuild the locomotive frame and
tenders, and kitbatch the running gear.
Kitbatching
I am going to use a generic 2-6-2 body and running gear as the base for my Shafer Brothers saddle tank 2-6-2T. I will use the Bachmann boiler parts for the saddle tank and 'super-detail' it per the prototype photographs. I will update this page when the project is completed.
Project Process
To be determined
