Not a Winans, but LEHIGH's huge steam dome and cab position does classify her breed is "camel". Unlike the Pennsylvania Railroads 2-6-0 SENECA, which was a rebuilt Winans 0-8-0,

LEHIGH may have been built from the ground up as a 0-6-0. On both locomotives the dodd wheel spacing was done to accommodate the Stephenson valve gear, much like the P.R.R. engine.
Of course it is also possible that Colburn rebuilt one of the DL&W camels.

Model created in Blender and based on a drawing of the locomotive found on the internet

I sincerely excited by constant progress of Your models appearance.
Hold on, Frank.

But watch Your wheels, please:
The model's origin is again too low for both: engine and tender.


Thanks 'll check it.
