Reply to "Good News Regarding the Western Maryland class J-1 4-8-4 Potomac!"

train doctor,

the LV copied the lackawanna 4-8-4's from alco. so if you really wanted too, you could replace the tender lettering with Lehigh Valley.

chessie,

the lackawanna's 55 4-8-4's for the most parts were dual purpose engines, #1501-1505 were bought just for passenger service with 77" drivers. but the #1601-1650 could be used on both freight or passenger. some had 70", and the rest had 74" drivers

but there was at one point or time when one of the 1500's 4-8-4's or one of the 4-6-4's #1151-1155 hudsons with 80" drivers was used on a freight run. in one of my books, it has a picture of the 1155 in the headend of a freight run.
