Thanks, but I don't know anything. All I do is look it up. As I've said before, I'm an old steam-era rail history fan (in the 19th Century sense of that word: "fancier", rather than the recent "fanatic") with a large personal reference library that's taken me 40 years to accumulate. So long as I can find the right book or magazine, I'm a genius.
By the way, the M&NA and M&A was the subject to a few articles in the early volumes of Railroad and Trains magazines. Railroad printed a then-current roster in 1936. I just happen to like operating S Scale, too. regards ... pqr ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andre Ming" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 8:26 PM Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} For You NYC Fans... > > John P said: > >> They're ex-Big Four (CCC&StL) G-6s class Consolidations. >> Big Four numbers were 6812 (M&NA 40) and 6814 (43).
