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. Charlie Vlk __._,_.___ Posted by: "Burtron Armbrust, Sr." <wb8ebs@yahoo.com> __,_._,___ |
