Gil Stovicek O scale builder

Hello O scalers 

   New addition:   a Gil Stovicek    2-10-2 ...just the thing for pulling a long , long train.   Gils' American Central Road , Lynhurst , Ohio  (according to a MR article)  began in 1937 .   Gil custom built a number of engines ...this 2-10-2 seems to have the drive and wheels from Lobaugh ...as well as the tender wheels /trucks.  Nicely built ...  I heard tale, once Gil built an engine he would give it a "break in" session of pulling 40  cars around his layout for a few hours to work out any bugs.  Based on the components of this engine guessing built late 40's or 50's ?  Engine is fully sprung .... engineer would have the ride of a Lincoln Town Car up in the cab .

 

Anyone out there with more information about  Gil Stovicek ?   Any more of his engines out there ? 

 

Cheers Carey
