(erielack) Stillwell coaches and Mantua K-4

["Hhaines_@_aol.com"]

Hi Folks,

I would agree with Paul that the most detailed Erie Pacifics would be brass 
if you've got the bucks.  

However, today in the mail Manuta sent me a different pilot like the ones in 
the pictures, and bell for the boiler front. I didn't ask for them, just sent 
a copy of my review asking for a photo or reference of the engine they 
modeled.  They sent parts to match the pictures I could view. I am unsure 
whether the model I received had a "one-of'-a-kind" pilot, or what--not much 
to compare it with here in Montana. But the change clears up the pilot and 
bell mystery on their K-4 Pacific. The model is not brass, but it pulls well, 
delights the kids with smoke, and it looks (to me) to be pretty good.
