I'm really not sure where else I could post this, but I've recreated a 4-8-2 Mountain Type (based off of the 1501) out of LEGO. It's almost 1:48 scale. I'm waiting for a few more parts to make it motorized, and also decals. But it does have sound, in which I'll post a video later showing the sound. I'm waiting for the decals to come in so I can take photos with both the 1501 and the model together (if the city lets me).
Very cool Brad!!! How long did it take you to build and what is the last photo of? Looking forward to seeing your video. Joe
It took about 3 months to design, a month to acquire all the parts, and three-ish days to build it. The last photo is the cab without its roof
