Re: [CBQ] CB&Q 4200 2-8-8-2 (Was Browning Hill)

The O scale model that was auctioned appears to be Bernard Corbin's scratchbuilt model of the 4200.  Someone was very lucky to get it for $705!

Louis, my father has a photo in his collection showing CB&Q 4200 operating in hump service in Galesburg.  I've asked him is there is a date on the photo.

This website corroborates this:   https://www.steamlocomotive.com/locobase.php?country=USA&wheel=2-8-8-2&railroad=cbq

Here is an O Scale model of 4200 that sold for $750 in  2009:  https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/6226418_49-brass-o-scale-2-rail-cbandq-4200-2-8-8-2-t-3-loco

Apparently Aristocraft made this engine in G scale (less minus the tender):  https://www.trainzauctions.com/dash/universe/catalog_item/MT-0342968/

Apparently the data for CB&Q 4200 appeared in an issue of Railroad Stories magazine November 1932:  https://picclick.com/Railroad-Stories-Magazine-1932-November-Lone-Wolf-Bandit-392248978999.html
