The impact of this is just starting to dawn on me! I have used Weaver trucks, and couplers, Bettendorf and, before that when available, arch bars, for years. Nobody else made them, or made them easily available and relatively inexpensive. I was lucky, recently, to pick up one of the unlettered Baldwin 2-8-0's. Fortunate find as no more will be forthcoming, and...who else has offered unlettered locomotives? (Atlas has offered unlettered cars) I do need to put my decals on this 2-8-0. I hope somebody carries on this line.
