This is my current Mason Bogie Project in 1:20.3 scale, and is the prototype model for the
Masterclass 2002 series at the mylargescale.com web site. The model represents DSP&P #42, as repainted and
relettered by the Union Pacific owners in 1885. The #42 was formerly DSP&P #6, 'Tenmile', built
in 1878. The unfinished paint scheme represents UP specfications for 1885. For more about Mason
building and the history of the Mason Bogie, do visit the Masterclass sometime!
The bell, with levers locked with each other, the whole thing can work off the Johnson bar..
Backhead shell is built, pipes and backhead appliances are chapter 7 work.
She runs like a dream, and has no trouble pulling 3 of the Carter Cars up a 4% grade.
#42 Paint scheme, taken from 1885 Union Pacific Specs, as provided by Jim Wilke. The decals were designed and produced by Stan Cedarleaf.
