John...Thanks For The response.? I had not ment?to start a thread on?Jesse Bennett locomotives, but I do find all of the responses interesting. I believe it's important to remember where the works of art from our early and very talented S scale modelers went/are. Not just Jesse, either.? It's Worth a page or two on the NASG website.? We both?know who sent me the AC-5 and I remain most appreciative.? It took a lot of effort to get it back to running plus up to date with Dan's brass castings.? There's probably?a good story as to how Arden ended up with those models.? He once told me the family wanted to keep them.? Also, I wonder who the guy is with the podcast (you tube) showing the Yellowstone and unpainted brass Challenger?operating.? There is a link to both on the NASG website.??
Many thanks & I hope all is?well with you.

Bob: ? The please read my message more carefully.? I was not discussing your AC-5.? The second AC-5 as well as the Big Boy and Challenger ( and I think the AC-12 though I do not recall) went to the NMRA for display at CSRM.? The same guy that sent you your AC-5 at the direction of the Goehring family delivered these locos to Bob Brown and Charlie Getz who were heading up the NMRA exhibit at the CSRM.? ? ? Thanks to Robert Carter who confirmed that these locos are on display.? I hope to have the opportunity to see them this weekend when I attend the LdSig/OpSig meeting at CSRM this weekend. ? ~ John
