Notes:

The model came ready-to-run and painted gold. It did not contain many details, as the intent was for the modeler to super-detail them as per their wishes. The owner of Miniature Machine, Barney Daehler, modeled the Sierra Railroad in S-scale, and hand-built each of the models sold. The locomotive number should be etched into the bottom of the frame. The locomotive itself was all brass, and the tender was made out of resin.

Bob's model was bought second-hand from the Jack Troxell estate.

The model before the paint shop, clearly showing the modifications Bob has made to his model.

Ed Loizeaux had his painted for the Catskill Valley Railroad.

These two photos are of the two components that made up the resin tender shell.

Note the pre-drilled holes in the bottom to allow for the placement of a down-facing speaker.
