Notes:

The die to make the 2-6-0 was created by reworking the 2-4-4T die. This was completed by the new owners of Rex Engineering, S&P Distributors. The model is a freelanced one, with a PRR-style cab, Baldwin domes, and Burlington-style headlight. The PRR Belpaire conversion kit was separately available from Rex. The kit consists primarily of high-pressure zamac castings, steel- or brass-tired drive wheels, a Pittman DC-71 open-frame motor, and plastic dummy couplers. Putt Trains re-introduced the model in 2003 both in ready-to-run and kit form. If you want to replace that motor with something more modern, try the Canon CN-22.

This shows the model as built by Dick Karnes. Dick modified it substantially. The cylinder chest is by Kemtron, the cab is from an A.C. Gilbert AF Hudson, the tender is from an AF 0-8-0, and the conventional front pilot has been replaced by a Rex footboard pilot. Front steps were replaced and pilot platform struts were added. Also, the original had the main rods connected to the third driver set; Dick changed things around using the Dockside main rods to the center driver set. The closest prototype match to the model is the Green Bay & Western locomotive as it matches that engine's size and style.

Unmodified Putt Trains.

This photo shows, at the top, the model as Rich Gajnak had bought it second-hand. The bottom shows the engine as he has modified it into an Illinois Central model.
