Re: (erielack) Re: Erie Models-2-8-4's

There was an S1 done by Custom Brass, an S2 also by Custom Brass which is
not worth having and which has a completely incorrect tender, an S3 by
Oriental, and an S4 by PFM.  Purists will tell you that the S4 is really an
S3 and the S3 is really an S4, so one should swap the tenders to have
correct models, which is OK if you are going to keep them forever . . .

Be prepared to spend north of $400.00, possibly far north.  You _might_ find
an S1 for the low $300s, but it will be a deal!
