Hi All,

I have undertaken the task of completing a 3.5" Columbia 4-8-4 (which has been in 'storage' for a while).

I noticed there are a couple of threads about the engine, but none with an images of the complete engine, I was wondering if anyone has images of a complete model or any experience building or running one?

Cheers,

Simon
