In Durango Co. a group of dedicated fans just finished the restoration of the 315 a D&RGW C-18 2-8-0 steam locomotive. Here is the Photo site, it took 7 years but the results are great.

Way too big! Gotta go smaller scale!

Now if I could ever get around to working on the THSR 700-T I've been drooling over for years....

LOL!,
The 315, that is small scale, this is our locomotive....

You can put the 315 and its tender inside our tender... the 2926 is almost a million pounds and it is 121 feet long.....
