Cover
By making a few changes, George Pierson modified a Roundhouse HOn3 2-8-0 into a convincing model of an eastern narrow gauge engine. His freelanced Blacklog & Shade Gap Eastern No. 4, shown here on the point of a mixed train, is one of two engines he built for his layout, which is set in the hills of central Pennsylvania.
