(erielack) Erie 2999

[The Foleys <dafoleze_@_comcast.net>]

I was very unhappy to hear of this car's demise as I had almost finished 
kitbashing a Branchline coach kit into a model of 2999.  I had hoped to 
get to Jersey at some point to confirm some details that were hard to 
validate with the pictures, diagrams and information I had, such as the 
size and appearance of the roof hatch (most of the hatches on other Erie 
heavyweights seem about four-feet square while this one seems larger and 
I sized it as such), and the underbody layout on the aisle side.

I am thankful to Brian for taking and posting the pictures, especially 
of that elusive aisle side - I guessed pretty well at the layout but 
have some minor tweaks to make.  At least for me - a little bit of the 
spirit of this unusual car will remain.

Thanks for the heads up Al; I guess I'll have to spend my future visits 
to Jersey on other pursuits...
