Re: 2.5" scale "Fulton" 4-4-0 castings now available from Allen Models
This project has been on hold for quite some time due to other priorities, and the fact that the drawings need a lot more reworking than originally anticipated. So for now it will remain an offering of castings only.

Here's that stack casting for the Fulton County 4-4-0 after a bit of clean up and some flat black paint. Turned out pretty nice. When I get around to it, I will post some pictures of the assembled headlight and domes as well, if you want.

^^^ would love to see pics of the rest of your Fulton 4-4-0.
About drawings, yes, I get how much time they take and how other things take priority. If they happen, I’d be most interested.

Just to make sure everything is clear: I am not building a Fulton County 4-4-0. I am using the stack, domes, and headlight for a narrow gauge 2-4-0 project for someone. They are about right for it, and are going to work well. It may be a while before I get the domes and headlight machined up.

This would make quite the 2.5 inch scale project.

I like this locomotive too.
It's very similar to the Baltimore and Lehigh/ Maryland Central (Maryland and Pennsylvania predecessor) American types.
Too many projects in the shop at the moment to consider another.

Might be the next one after the 10 wheeler. Jim
No problems just solutions.

Always thought a 2.5 scale ET&WNC 4-6-0 would be a really neat engine. Made quite popular by the Bachmann g scale engine put in many starter sets etc.

Here is my 2 1/2" "Modern" American utilizing Allen Models drivers, lead truck, smoke box door and stack castings.
The domes, bell and generator came from "High Iron" old Little Engines in PA.
Sorry, it is a steam outline as my boiler welder had retired and I could not afford the $5000 for a boiler
I had to redesign a lot of parts as the original RR Wearhouse drawings were not correct as Steve Alley mentioned (a major project)
I made a lot for the "scrap box".
During "Covid", I went and put in the interior cab detail and fabricated the air compressor

Hey that locomotive is looking great. Sorry, there is no update on the Fulton drawings, it's presently low priority. But the castings will remain available for freelancers.
