About New York Ontario and Western Class E 4-6-0 by Conrad Schlenker
This is a recently updated model to my original locomotive submitted in last years competition. Things that have been changed or added: The addition of a bell cord, the addition of sand lines, shortened the height of the sand dome, fully rebuilt pilot truck, fully rebuilt pilot, rebuilt smokebox and changed supports, all new wheels, all new custom rods, made the cab windows above the boiler smaller, rebuilt large tanks on the side, added boiler piping, changed the stock lego coupler in between the locomotive and tender to a Neodynium from lifelites, and added a lipo battery. The original prototypes were used in mix traffic duties on the NYO&W from 1911 to 1948 when all 4 copies were scrapped. I hope you enjoy!
