Re:Re: (erielack) Erie modelling info



Pure curiosity as this is well out of my scale (though with more eye difficulties, perhaps this scale would be a better choice), but what does this model actually look like?  I went on the K-Line page and saw the picture which seems to have an artist redition of something in the lower left corner and a prototype photo which seems to look like the Erie oil-electric.  The inside catalog page seems to show the artist rendition version.

Which one is the model?  The City of Gadsden has proposed a G scale layout for one of the city parks - maybe I could propose that this be one of the models that is purchased for it (and some Monday morning it could show up in an Erie paint scheme).
