@0-Gauge CJ posted:It looks like more 2-8-8-2's have arrived at Mr Muffins, including N&W #2020. It too has the dreaded silver smoke box. I will be honest, the silver smoke box looks nice as it reminds me of the 4-8-2 Water Buffalo (N&W K3) that I have, but I am pickier about scale details for my N&W model roster and think I might pass this round.
Does anyone know if the early N&W 2-8-8-2's had silver smoke boxes? I might be convinced to buy then.
I think that Steve Nelson has some that are being weathered and no silver. Give him a call.
