Here are my AlCo FAs. The K-Line NYC Lightning Stripe FAs looked so much nicer and had slightly better detail than it's contemporary Lionel Black Cigar Band FA. At $150 a pair I eventually wound up with two sets. In later production K-Line even used add-on handrails. The Wabash Blue Bird scheme looked nice on a single K-Line FA, had the add-on handrails and steps and again the price was right and it was added to the fleet. After winning an eBay auction for a Wabash FA shell, one of the unpowered NYC FAs donated a chassis so I would have an AA set of Wabash FAs. Along came a Weaver Snap-On set headed up by a scale AlCo FA. Oh how I wish they were all scale now. All six posed together and then a few comparison shots. I even purchased handrails and steps from K-Line in hopes of being able to apply them to my NYC versions. I never had the guts to try.
