possibility of a minical set just for the exhibition engine. But it's kinda
up to you guys . . .

could be sized for the Bachmann/Rivarossi V&T 4-4-0, with an MDT Overton
Baggage standing in for the 1862 RPO replica - I don't think there'd be much
point in sizing them for scratchbuilt scale <grin>.

#35 carry after its rebuild? (We'll omit such things as standing in for UP
119 at the Chi Railroad Fair) - and does anyone have colors for the earlier
versions?

anyone has available (I have a handful of slides taken ca. 1955, but not
