Yes, since it came from Jettie I'm pretty sure it's NYC PT4.

Re: NYC Tender needs TLC

 

Thanks Bob.? I thought it was a NYC PT4 from the SWM Mohawk run. It still needs a new home.
First offer for $50.00 and postage takes it.

?completed GE 70 tonner #201 (one of two on the SN) and the nearly completed 44 Tonner (Phase 1) #147.? This was the only Phase 1 on the SN roster and was built for the Napa Valley in 1942 (jointly owned by SN parent Western Pacific).? SN numbers 141-146 were the later post war 44 tonners.?

Thanks to Jim for producing the very nice resin castings for both of these models.

Micro Engineering code 83 flex

 

开云体育

I did our ZOOM with Micro Engineering this morning. There is not going to be a firm "available date" for the initial run of code 83 flex track. They only need a small amount of first orders to justify a mold switch on one of their molding machines. They have had their best sales months ever this year and are shipping what they can make right out the door. So get your orders in and get the process started.

?

Thank You,
Bill Lane
