Masterton Miniature Train

The fabulous people at Masterton Miniature Train Society are getting the A-74 Atlantic locomotive ready for another run around Queen Elizabeth Park. I’m hoping to get trained on that once I’ve mastered the diesel.

I honestly never even knew we had Atlantics here in South Africa, but this certainly is a beautiful model! The smoke looks quite interesting too!

Nice Atlantic! It almost looks like if the NZR had commissioned a class of 4-4-2s with 60 inch drivers.

Thats a nice engine, One question though. Why is ths smoke yellow?

[@ComerProductions193]

The smoke was weird colors because that’s what the actual smoke does on engines when you add fresh coal and it is setting still or moving slowly owning and running a coal burner myself my engine will do the exact same thing. It’s just the nature of a coal burning steamer

@@ComerProductions193 That's nice. Thanks for telling me.
