We're starting to install sound decoders into my brass E units, and at the same time, we need to install the headlights. After looking at Bulletins 10 and 57, it appears that the E-5, E-7. and at lea

Bill, I wasn't clear enough. It appears to me that, as delivered, the headlight had a single bulb. Sometime later, they switched to two bulbs. Is that a correct assumption? Some of my motors have a s

Zephyr No 47 shows S-1A 2815 on 8/4/51 and R-5A 2151 on 2/9/52, so we know it's sometime after that. Remember all steam engines had to operate backwards to Mt Morris from Oregon, as they took the wye

Leo and I had discussed this in the past. In 1948, 52 arrived at Oregon at 6:05 pm, then arrived in Chicago at 8:35 pm, so it could have worked the cars from Kable, albeit slower. In 1950, 52 arrived

BTW - one of the reasons they didn't discontinue 45/52, was they needed 45 to drop several empty baggage cars each day for Kable. Without 45, they would have to send the baggage cars in a freight. Ri
