I had assumed these to be Mikes or Berks, but the recent Bachmann Erie Decapod announcement has me intrigued. What frieght steamers worked east of Cleveland in the 30's and early 40's? Exact numbers are not required, of course, but a general idea would be appreciated. I saw a 40's roster that showed the decapods still active, but the territory is what I'm after. He thought some had 10 drivers... Dean Payne ------------------------------
