Yes that's the guy. He and Howard Phillips attended the 1968 NESGA
Convention in Nashua, NH. They had a couple of parts, a steam chest
was one of them. As I recall they were gonna revive the 2-8-0. I was
more interested in the spliced AF passenger car shell Howard brought
with him. He turned a couple of combines into an 80' coach without a
trace of the splice!
After 40 years, my memory is a bit sketchy on what ever came of the
Nord idea but I do remember Beadle saying that he started Nord then
sold it to someone named Stinson. There's no way to jog my memory as
to who was who as everyone in that room (except me of course) has passed on.
I have a Nord catalog somewhere and may look for it this weekend.
Raleigh in chilly Maine
P. S. - I visited Wiscasset when Gene Fletcher was alive but nothing
was running that day. It's about a 2 hour drive from where I live.
