American Articulated Steam Locomotive Diorama

Two engines, one boiler, and a station waiting for it.

The largest steam locomotives ever put into regular service were articulated — two full sets of driving wheels hinged under a single enormous boiler, built for mountain grades no ordinary engine could face. This build recreates that giant in 1,277 pieces and 52.6 cm of black and silver boiler, riding a full section of brown-sleeper track. Coupling rods link the twin driver groups below the polished boiler barrel, and the coal tender follows on multi-axle bogies. Beside the line stands a complete station waiting hall — pitched roof, signal light, bench and stacked luggage on the platform.
