[CBQ] Oriental O-1a

[John Manion <railbass@comcast.net>]

In answering a question recently on LMB O-1a's, I got out my Oriental model
of a Q O-1a.   The model is nicely painted and lettered for C&S #803.
However, it has the 64" drivers and short cab of a 4900, and #803 had 57"
drivers and a full cab.   The model also has a straight-sided tender with an
oil bunker.   I am thinking this would be the arrangement for an O-1a used
in the western divisions of the Q.   I have glanced through my Q books -
Corbin, Hardy, Wagner, Spoor, Holck, and Burg's Campbell Collection, and
been unable to find any photo of a similar oil-burning O-1a.   I have
attached a photo of the model.   Does anyone know what the prototype of this
model would be and where it operated?
