THANK YOU, Joe for your detailed explanation of those fine models! As a 16 year old in 1958, I worked in the sixty story Lincoln Building at 60 East 42nd St. directly across from Grand Central Terminal. There was a convenient underground passageway to the station, and on my lunch hour I would go into the station to get one of those wonderful Nedick's hot dogs and that great orange drink. Then I would go to one of the inbound tracks, and invariably there would be an idle, venerable NYC S-2 electric loco. Being familiar with both the O scale 2 rail versions, as well as the Lionel tinplate versions, it was great to see one in person. I also remember seeing the red carpet at the Century gate. Fond memories.
