Thanks. I found an Oriental Limited O5a on sale at the train show in West
Springfield . I was impressed, altho I had never noticed an all-weather cab
before and wasn't sure what to think of that. However I liked the model
enough to make the purchase. I'm very satisfied. I had never planned to
have an O5 because large locomotives look out of scale on my pike. Lately I
have come to reallize that I have most everthing else the Burlington had in
steam, so I decided the collection should take precedence over the railroad.
Now I'm pleased to have an O5, which I'm hoping will be capable of pulling
the Exposition Flyer over my grades.
