I am proud to have been asked to do a portrait of SVR 20 balanced on the Baker turntable for the Sumpter valley Restoration . I am trying to do as accurate a painting as posssible so ...I have questions .
1. My guess is the turntable was short,maybe only 50 ft .I noticed in one photo that one of the Baldwin 2-8-2s sits perfectly on the table .,with no room on either end .
2.Also ,I am guessing the roundhouse had corrugated tin sheet exterior ,and was probasbly painted dark red . The table frame looks rusty black .Any more imput ?
