Radder Close Ups

Hawaiian Railway Co No 5
Baldwin 2-4-2 With Tender

I love the lines of this engine.  And she's still alive and steaming.

Meet poster child no 2 of SteamClass 2004.  What a wonderful excuse to scratch build a brass tender.  And thanks to Vance Bass and David Fletcher we have a complete set of photos, drawings, and specifications. 

Then Jon Radder stepped up with a wonderful set of close-up photos of No 5.  Click on this link to see Jon's close ups.
