First time here...several of my 2662T projects.
Welcome to the forum.
I recall these from RRL. Looks like it was a fun modification/build to do.
Look forward to seeing more of your work/participation.

Marc,
Thanks yes they did appear on the RRL, I hope that it wasn't in bad form to post them here. I did get a chance to see the next one I will be building... I have one more donor Mantua. It may get this version of the tanks versus a Booth Kelly look. This 2662T was recently set on siding in Centralia Oregon, it been there just about a week now. I will be building new tanks like I did for the others.

These are outstanding pictures to study for a rust study for a static parts distributor model. Thanks for posting as I needed someting like this.

Lots more pictures where those 2 came from. Let me know if you want to see more of this beauty. Unfortunately there were no builder plates and little traces of lettering on the left side tank. It had RAY N....so I am assuming RAYONIER but residual lettering. I have yet to research my books and magazines, but I know I have seen it.
And will you make it as rusty as it is on the pictures?

Its tempting, if I could find a junker thats not gonna move, it would be a great detail to the RR. And it would be fun to make. After all I hope to cast the side tanks.

Great pics, thanks for posting them! I love articulateds, they're wonderfully complex.
Thanks for posting the additional pictures. I have bookmarked this thread for future reference. I'm planning on a broken down rusting shay(??) or some other static loco for a logging diorama I have in mind which I want to build. If I don't do that than I'll use a older discarded loco for a Gilpin Tram scene on a club module. Or Both! No matter what, the pictures will be used for reference, so again thank you. This is a outstanding rust study.
