Description
A little 2-8-0, affectionately called "Duke", by the Eagle Rock crews poses on a small bridge.

Duke is a little Aristo-craft c-16, one from the earlier 2000's run. It was purchased secondhand in running conition, but with some details missing. I wasn't satisfied with the paintjob her previous owner gave her. She sat in my closet for about two years, getting pulled out on occassion to get painted in stages.
This is my first attempt at repainting a steam locomotive. Not too shabby, I think, and a few lessons learned. I do have parts to replace the broken or missing ones, it's just a matter of taking the time to paint and apply them. That, and finally commissioning the Eagle Rock emblum and getting those decals created.
