Decided to take a break from my Buffalo-area routes to revisit an old "fantasy" project I had started- a re-imagined Grapevine Vintage Railroad (reabsorbed into the Fort Worth & Western Railroad) and now operating steam trips with a much more powerful Baldwin 2-10-0 steam locomotive, ex Gainesville Midland no. 203 operating in a slightly "done up" appearance as Fort Worth & Western no. 2290.
I was going to go with a plain old black locomotive to start with but with how honestly cool GVRX no. 2248 looks with the brass trim I thought "why not see how that would look on a larger locomotive?" I arrived at this. I've created an approximation of the Fort Worth & Western Railroad and these scenes are of FWWR no. 2290 pulling a train into the Fort Worth Stockyards.
Before everyone gets their underwear in a wad because it's not "prototypical" I'm not saying this should ever be done, but what the heck; reskinning is free. Speaking of which, big thanks to K&L Trainz for the awesome models of SRC 90 and SRC 475, which served to give me this model (the tender is 475's since 90's real life is ridiculously undersized).
