Re: [CBQ] Non-Brass HO scale model of CB&Q 2-8-2 4960

["Mike Martin via Groups.Io" <atsf3460=aol.com@groups.io>]

Speaking of the smokebox front becoming corroded from the inside all of the O4 locomotives were built as coal burners originally.  I don't think any of them ever burned lignite.  I'd like to build one as delivered someday using an older Akane or Broadway model and letter it US on the tender with CB&Q up on the side of the tender.  I don't know if they were delivered like that from the USRA or not.  Dave Beck, I believe, modeled an M3 2-10-2 lettered like this.  I do have one of the Overland versions of the O4 and I bought it out of pity... it hung around on eBay for days with nobody bidding on it so I grabbed it for something like $180 even though I don't do anything Lines West.  I'm going to treat it as an orphan that got lost on the system that my Lines East took into their herd!
