RE: [CBQ] Unusual Prairies

["'Charlie Vlk' cvlk@comcast.net [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

The only R4 or R5 model I've seen in HO was a scratchbuilt job owned by the
late Joe Douda.   It was built by a guy in the western suburbs along with an
S2 the name escapes me at the moment but the Pacific appeared in "Trackside
Photos" sometime in the late 50s or early 60s.
There is also an R4 in 7 1/2" gauge at the Illinois Live Steamers.   In O
Cary did a R4 boiler for All Nation.
I have no idea what happened to the HO model; Joe intended that his
collection go to a museum in the Black Hills but I don't know if the
daughter handling it bothered to honor his wishes.   More likely everything
ended up in a dumpster.
