Bob-
I am backdating my Bachmann HO 44 tonners to the original D&RGW phase built
in August 1941 and September 1942. I know I'm not answering your specific
question, but if you want to detail to the earlier phase, I am attaching
photos of a W&R model in the original phase from e-Bay that a friend told me
about.
