Genlemen, since Bill Lane blew my cover, (just kidding,) I am the one to blame for the presence of the high hood conversation. Myself and my painter, not an s guager, built two high hood GP 35's out of American Models low nose GP35's. You can get them from Tom Hawley. The short nose was modified with a little styrene, glue, and a knife? What is all the fuss? (just kidding). These particular modeled engines were on the W&LE, one painted in the DRG&W colors and one painted in the old Southern colors that W&LE just painted out the old name and painted in their name. If you were at Cleveland NASG convention a few years ago, these real engines were running around Cleveland with gondolas loaded with scrap steel pulling their little hearts out with 3 geeps on the front and two in the rear. I thought that would be a neat train and engines to model. Also, Bob Yankee lives on the west end of the W&LE in Ohio. He models that rr, N&W and NS. I got all these ideas from him, his layout, plus was able to see the real stuff in 1 to 1 scale at the same time. Correct me if I am wrong. When Overland ran the special unit runs for example high hood GP's (38-2's), HH SD's, HH SD b units, they did 10 of each. My guess is that there are 10 of each vs 20 of each, special runs, therefore, less than you think. My hair has more gray in it than Loizeaux, so he may not be the wiser. (just kidding,Ed L.) You can have the prize. You need to leave those NYC guys alone. There are more on this site than you think. Donald Mac, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, this discussion grew too quickly in only a few days, while I was at the show in Md. over the weekend, gathering more info for you. Will fill you in later. Ted Larson, moderator, I know this is longer than you want but someone had to settle these hens down. thanks Jerry Smith Arnold, Md.
