I can post a picture of mine if anyone is interested.

Yes, please do!

But I won't be bidding on this beauty. Remember, I already have a factory painted number 6, now partially painted. But with the misplaced cylinder re-soldered to the saddle/chest, it does run well. My number 6 is getting a pilot plow and some other back dating to 1924. One little OMI factoid is that when C&S 60 was imported, Overland imported quite a few butterfly plow assemblies as well. I picked up a few back in the late 1980s, to winterize my roster if needed.

Eventually, my number 6 will look these mid 1920s portraits from the Klingers' last book:


Taking coal at Dickey



Crossing Boreas with friends.


In addition to fabricating an "intermediate tender", I'm going to have to cobble together a "thingamobob" for the signal line (see http://c-sng-discussion-forum.254.s1.nabble.com/1920-s-Thingamobob-on-Cooke-2-6-0-Tenders-td13456.html
