Hi WVM, I would be very interested in seeing what those two engines look like, especially weathered. I grew up on the New Haven to Hartford main line through Meriden, Connecticut. I don't recall ever seeing any NH steam as a boy, but I have a layout with mostly New Haven equipment and most everything is 50-55 vintage including steam. I own 3 Weaver I-5s and I am considering having one weathered. I have been pursuing a I-4 Pacific type Weaver built back about 2012 but to no avail. For the last 40 years I have lived south west of Albany, New York and very close to the D&H main from Schenectady to Binghamton. My front yard is the resting place for a New Haven Maybrook line whistle marker. I was in the area when they tore that line out and the marker was left laying alongside the old right away. It took two of us to load it in my car. I look forward to your posts on your new engines. Bill
