Very nice model!! Lookin' good!
One question: if #11 is an inside frame, then where are the crankpin bosses on Bernie's patterns? Nevermind, answered in the #11 post.

Nice model, but it's a bit deceptive as #11 will be an outside framer.  ;)
Pretty little thing though!

Don't get so serious, just playing with the photos.  Good luck using PhotoShop to add an outside frame.

Accucraft doesn't make an outside frame live steam Forney, sorry!  You can take this same model remove pony wheels, shorten the pilot deck and you have #10 (I did this also and did not post it).  Their other Forney could be reworked to make #9.

Interesting...
so one could take the Bachmann (it IS Bachmann, right,) #7 model and make a pretty accurate representation of what #11 will really look like!  ;)
Also, I think there's at least 1 model of an SR&RL outside framer at the live steam club in Holliston, MA. I bet someone could have fun photoshopping THAT.  ;D :P

Here is a picture of two Maine Two Footers built by Don Cornell of the Waushakum Live Steamers.

Ooooohhh... aaaahhhh!!! ;D
The one on the right is a dead ringer for #9!
The one on the left IS an outside framer, but no pony truck. ;)
Thanks for posting that, I missed making it to Waushakum this summer.
