I'll just add that production number information for Oriental Limited projects isn't always known. Or even how many production runs may have been done (I think there possibly were two separate runs of Worthington Feedwater Heater Burlington Route O1a 2-8-2 for instance). I would be very surprised if more than 200 of the Midwest 65 tonner centercabs were made.

I have a copy of the Brown Book of Brass Locomotives which is the

predecessor of the BrassTrains.com listing. It does not show a quantity.

It just shows the models were built in 1984 and had a list price of $164.00.
