Model Showcase: HOn30 Cal East #18

This Model Showcase covers California Eastern Lines #18, an HOn30 freelance 4-6-2, equipped with DCC and sound. It remains one of my largest, best running locomotives to date, with a ton of detail and character.
Enjoy!

Very nice, very BLW looking! 👍

With a hint of Cooke 😉Thanks! I don’t remember which specific C&S 2-8-0 I modeled the styling after, but I was definitely shooting for something that looked plausible, even though it’s a complete fantasy loco
