Don explained the details of his new steam engine. The planned production will have a scale sized front coupler, and an AF-compatible rear coupler installed at the factory. A replacement scale coupler will be included for conversion to scale - or to enable double-heading two engines. The engine will feature what Don calls an "Open Frame" chassis - the motor and drive gears will actually fit in the cab area of the engine - the frame and wheels will have a "see-through" design, just like the full size engine. According to the plans - the engine will have 465 unique parts!
