2-8-0 Steamer Part 1

While reading Steel Mill Railroads in Color Vol. 2 I came across a couple pictures of Northwestern Steel & Wire company's (NWS&W) 0-8-0 steam locomotive. I know steam locomotives are nothing new in a steel mill but what caught my attention was this locomotive was still in use on a daily bases in 1979. With my mill set between the 70s and 80s, I figured I would model one for my steel mill.

I started with a Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0 painted green for the Southern railroad. Nice locomotive good color scheme but I have bigger and better plans for it. The picture was taken on my good friend's layout Ronald Armstrong.
