!OST #14_rev - O scale trains

Frank Fazzio is a big Erie fan and his favorite locomotive is the S-4 Berkshire. After building many kit locomotives, he decided the S-4 would behis first foray into scratchbuilding. The locomotive shown above and below started with a commercial chassis that had to be shortened. Theboiler, cylinders, cab and rear truck are scratchbuilt. Most all the parts were made from .020" brass. Rivet detail was achieved with a NWSL rivetpress. Frank says the most difficult part of the loco was the rear truck. It has 24 separate parts to it.Frank says his next project, if he can find the drivers, is an Erie R-1, 2-10-2.O ScaleRealtyRealisticWeatheredStructures inO ScaleScratchbuiltFrom YourPhotos,Plans orIdeas!(Will also build & weather your kits)Reed ArtimPh: 973-472-745675 Woodridge Rd, Clifton NJ 0701240 • O Scale Trains - May/June ’04
