I’ve not ever seen a photo of the supposed PFM 4-6-2. There are five models
recorded in the book “25 Years of PFM models”. I don’t even know specifically
which class was modeled.
I follow the sales of brass models quite closely over the past 20-25 years and
have never seen an example sold to my knowledge.
I do have the beginnings of a brass model clinic prepared with photographs and
have given it once already to one of our small downstate get-togethers. I
didn’t get booed at and the 2 dogs also in attendance didn’t bark either (Nala
and Mater!). I’d be happy to present it at one of our meetings. I suppose
an article could work too for that matter!
