I don't ever remember seeing a locomotive with a bra, or tarp on it's pilot before. I'm guessing the wood pilot is too nice or fancy to look prototypical. Did this loco originally just have a step board pilot ? I suppose some purists would object to the headlight bulb looking a bit more modern, too, but probably a bit more practical than the original light source.

For the next charters we will cover it in removable black paint. Martin Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/22/18 06:47 by LoggerHogger.  Date: 05/22/18 07:15 Re: Polson Logging #2 at Barview, Oregon, 05/19/2018 Author: train1275 Super photo !!

Looks like somebody is an artist with wood, and they just couldn't help themselves, making it functional and beautiful too. That really looks like it would have been a fun project. I like working with both metal and wood where some people seem to prefer working with one or the other.
Thanks for adding the photo. Craig Hanason Vay, ID Date: 05/22/18 23:38 Re: Polson Logging #2 at Barview, Oregon, 05/19/2018 Author: typebangin Shame to cover up such a beautiful pilot. Was it tarped because it's not prototypical to the locomotive? It would be nice to see the natural finish at least part of the time in October.
