Hi Ken:
Thanks to you and Chris for bringing back memories! John built an NYC H10 Mike
for me back in the early 1980's from an SSL&S 2-8-2 "kit". He even
scratch-built the tender. The locomotive sounded a bit rough but it would pull
paint off the wall. The NYC H10's were (are!) my all time favorite steam
locomotives so now you know why River Raisin Models built them in brass 15
years later! John was innovative for his time and a great conversationalist
I always enjoyed chatting with him and regret I only visited his layout once
for the famous flying RDC event!
The H10 was eventually sold to Rollie Mercier, I think for about what it cost
me. Never knew what happened to it after that, but John definitely introduced
me to the world of Super Glue!
