Thank you Ken. I remember seeing those in/around Dallas in the 40s and 50s I
think. The smoke box "face" is unforgettable for a small boy who loved trains
and usually saw them up close waiting to the T&P Eagle bringing my grandmother
back from Jefferson. Her father had been the T&P station agent in Marshall
until he died in 1920.
I could do with a "close to" model, but if it didn't have that characteristic
smoke box front it just wouldn't work.
