Karl - As promised, attached are two images of my O-5-A bells. The 001 image shows the bell off of 5615 and the 002 image shows the bell from 5624. Both 4-8-4s were scrapped at NWS&W. I'll have to take some images of the headlight and bracket off 6324. Will send Monday or Tuesday. I have the headlight in my den with the bells, but the bracket is so large it's in the garage and I'll have to clean out some of the boxes around it to get a good shot. It would be interesting to know who else in this Group has Q steam engine or diesel hardware they'd like to tell us about, particularly how they acquired it. Enjoy your Sunday - Louis

Karl - Your M-4-A bell is a long ways from Breardstown/Centralia/Galesburg mounted out there in your California garden! It looks just like my two O-5-A bells. I'll trade you some images of mine over the weekend if I don't get side tracked.... I'm attaching another image of 6324, this time taken at Centralia, IL, in May of 1952. Just think, some 10 years later NWS&W had turned this magnificent machine into nails! Best Regards - Louis

Karl - Our Dads certainly would've known each other as Q officials. I well remember the Choo-Choo Specials. That's a good subject for a future article in the BRHS Bulletin. So the front mount bell off Class M-4-A No. 6324 ended-up with your Dad while the winged Pyle National headlight with its heavy smoke box mounting bracket ended-up with my Dad. Small world it is.... Did you pick-up the bell at Eola? That's where Dad and I took possession of the headlight. Plus, with your bell, is the road number deeply cut into the top to identify it during shoppings? I also have front mount bells off Class O-5-A locomotives 5615 and 5624 and their road numbers are cut deeply into the bell tops. Both my bells are blocked-up on the carpet in my den and they will ring, but they're really LOUD like your's in the backyard. It would be nice if someday your bell and my headlight could be reunited. Wonder what happened to the whistle? I'm attaching a color image of 6324 taken on May 16, 1955 in Centralia, IL, near the end of its service life. You can clearly see your bell and my headlight on the locomotive. May be the Mars light ended-up on an ex-GTW 0-8-0 at NWS&W. Thanks for reaching out to me. Best Regards - Louis

Hi   Luis
Just found this page. My Dad was with Burlington from 45-66. Ended his   career as gen passenger manager. He was also over the choo-choo  steam   excursions with the last two units. You know the ones. Anyway, he  wound   up with the engine bell from the 6324  which we had in our backyard when   I was a kid and is mounted in my backyard for my kids today.  I noticed   that you had a few parts from the 6324 as well.  Neither of us would   probably ever want to part with these jems but it sure would've been cool if   they were in the same place again. Anyway nice to know those parts are still   out there.
Karl
