MKT Baggage & Express car.

 

I just finished decorating one of the Microtrains baggage cars for the Katy. The 184 class cars were built by American Car & Foundry for the MKT in 1917. The MT car is not exact but close enough for me.
 

That looks really nice Russell!

Hi Russell,

Awesome work on the baggage car.
?
I must say, the 4-6-2 also caught my eye. I'm gonna take a guess, and you tell me how close or far off I am...
?
?
Atlas/Rivarossi shell, KATO Japanese prototype mechanism, Bachmann tender shell, and maybe ConCor?6-wheel trucks under the tender
?
In any case, the combination looks great! I bet it runs great too!

Clause,

Thanks. You are pretty much spot on. The mechaism is from a Micro Ace JNR 4-6-2. Atlas/Rivarossi USRA Heavy Pacific boiler shell. I believe the tender is from an Atlas Light Pacific but with Con Cor trucks.

Both the car and the 4-6-2 look great!
