Description
PVRR's #19 is a Lima 2-6-6-2 built in 1921. I don't have that much to say other than I really like it and I think it could almost fit Colorado or Pennsylvania. Needless to say I chose Pennsylvania. I started off doing a 2-4-4-2, then that changed to a 2-6-6-0, and I decided to cram a trailing truck in there N&W style and make a 2-6-6-2.Related content

steam N&W style. N&W style. (okay, that will be made as my favorite Gandam Style parody)

Wow, brilliant shading!
Somehow I've always liked "symmetrical" mallets, so I'd say the trailing truck was a good call (for whatever THAT'S worth XD). Amazing detailing all around with the plumbing and all... the tanks and pipes on the pilot deck are especially impressive! (The generator exhaust is rather amusing, I might add! XD) Also, interesting choice of tender trucks.

2-6-6-0s are better. The D&SL had them, and they're like, Double Moguls

Yeah, I'm glad I added it too. I spent a good while on the piping and tanks up there (actually done in the car.) The tender is another experimental tender like they pretty often are, with my favorite style of tender truck.

So would this a Mallet? Or an Articulated loco? Either way it's a fantastic looking machine. Standard Gauge?
And by looking at it I'd say it would fit in well working in the Colorado Rockies. The spark arresting screen seems tipical of D&RGW practice. That and the Smoke Box front mounted air compressors/pumps.
Also, I am impressed with what you can do with pencil. I lovew the way you weather your engines, it gives them a very hard working look. Though that's how all industrial machines should look isn't it?

I had been thinking to do it as a Mallet, but then I made the cylinders the same size, so I guess just a simple.
Thank you! And yeah, you gotta have 'em looking like they're earning their keep!
