RE: (erielack) Re: Nickle Plate Products



The Brown Book of Brass Locomotives shows that 4 versions of the N-1s were produced in 1984.  The quantity for each was listed as 25.  Following notes were also included:

1]  1123:  #3040-3145 with Elesco FW heater on boiler front
2]  1124:  #3152 (ref MR 4/84 pg.45) available custom painted for $65 extra
3]  1125:  #3007 with Elesco FW heater on top of boiler
4]  1126:  #3024 with Elesco FW heater on boiler front, high pilot ladders.

I had not realized there were 4 versions, but am glad I was able to get 2, one with FW heater on top of boiler and one with FW heater on front of boiler.
