S scale Reading T1

 

Not sure if this is a well known fact amongst non Reading fans and modelers, but the prototype T1¡¯s were built from ex I class 2-8-0¡¯s. Frank Titman¡¯s model ? was built using the AF plastic Atlantic cab, firebox, and part of the boiler.

Hello Bud, and Thank you for bring this up.
?
Attached are two pages of quick reading about the I-10 to T1 conversion by the Reading shops.
The first is from ; Steam Locomotives of the Reading and P&R Railroads, by Edward H. Wiswesser, PE .?
Then a page from : Iron Horse Rambles and the Reading T-1s, by William S. Young.
?
And S scale content: Picture of my LVM I-10 #2008.

It's awesome how the railroad shop rebuilt locomotives in the age of steam! Many who saw the 2102 on last summer's NASG excursion would have been astonished to learn about this.
?
Bud, you are often a source of interesting information.
?
Hugh, your models and photography are outstanding.
?
Thank you both for sharing.

It's practically a lost art.? Back in 1917, Santa Fe took their ten 2-10-10-2's and rebuilt them into twenty 2-10-2's.

That 2-8-0 looks great; as does the water tank behind it!
?
Kit, or scratch-built?

Mark in Oregon,
The water tank is also a LVM kit.
A nice week of evenings to build.
