It is a Robert Dustin product.

What's the next project? - an NP 4-8-4...?...
Hmmm...
I am still adjusting the front pony truck motion and equalization on this Mike. It's too stiff. Then an electrical issue to trouble shoot on the right side maintenance lights,
and maybe more fine tuning.
And my Ten Wheeler valves still require more adjusting post-rebuild.
And today I spent adjusting the steam valve on the WAAAMuseum's Aultman Taylor 10-ton steam tractor, after a crankshaft/Babbitt bearing replacement, and more.
And we need to perform fine tuning on the WAAAMuseum's 1901 Locomobile steam car after it finally ran successfully last month following a 3 years restoration.
And I need to complete machining/building the Duplex water pump I've been working on for 2 years...

I think I will go enjoy our steam launch post snows.

An amazing job on this Locomotive. I hope mine will look half as good. Well done, very well done.
