Motive Power

Currently, I have 6 locomotives plus a trolly to keep the freight customers happy on my branch of the ET&WNC. The various locomotives are:
 
  Number 1 - currently undecorated. This is an undecorated shay by Bachmann. Beautiful piece of work!  A sister branch of the ET&WNC (Milwaukee Branch) has the Pardee version of this locomotive.  Maybe someday the two will merge.
  Number 11 - formally dark blue. A Bachmann 4-6-0 that has been repainted.
Number 12 - Bachmann 4-6-0 formally from a circus train.  One can never have sufficent main line locomotives.
  Number 204 - Astro Craft 0-4-0 with slope tender.  I need to rework this engine for proper road marking and numbering.
  Number 205 - LGB 0-4-0 porter.  This little guy is dedicated for switching duty in the yards.
I have recently added the Bachmann Climax, but pictures are still waiting.  This is too new a piece of equipment for the ET&WNC - LLB for a decision to be made on the engine number.  It is believed that this locomotive will be used for a mining operation that is due to open soon..

For those interested in the Ely Thomas Bachmann 2 truck shay, it is currently at the rail road museum in Green Bay Wisconsin. I was lucky to obtain a couple of photo graphs of it.
 
  Here is a fine view of the actualy Ely Thomas 2 truck shay in Green Bay Wisconsin. This side view give a excellent view of the front truck and drive shaft
  Here is a side profile of the engine as it is today.
