Re: NWSL J&L Tank, Another Question
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýBill, there was a small photo in the
Steam era website several years past of it on the road in black,
besides the typical silver 'photo version'.?
I believe that when a few of the
Houston S guys were headed to the first Sacramento NASG (1985?)
they stopped at a hobby shop in Denver where 2-3 of the models
were in stock and then taken home.? So we had those silver cars
running around here for several years.? Yours truly, on the other
hand, bought UP one at one of those large traveling train shows.?
I added trucks but still ran it a bit
without paint thinking I could make it into a MW water car or
similar.? Since that didn't happen, I sold it, but had the buyer
complain,-- asking where the ladders were!? I had the car for a?
couple of years but never bothered to compare it to any photos,
but indeed several of the end ladders were missing.? After
checking it out I realized that the remaining ladders had been
soldered in Alaska/Canada/Siberia; AKA cold solder joints!?
A neat car, but only good for someone
else!
