I am always delighted when someone shows interest in my models. Both the Daylight and this one are from Lobaugh kits. The Lobaugh Mountains are fairly rare, produced for perhaps three years before WWII, I think they were too expensive for the average 1938 model railroader - $195 for a finished locomotive, and over $100 for a kit.

I always like seeing your models. There are historically interesting and some of them, like the C&NW 2-8-4, hit a niche where nothing else is available. Any background you might like to share on prototype or model SP mountains would be appreciated.

Thanks for posting the L2 Videos. Those Mohawks are really haulin'! They remind me of a David P. Morgan photo essay.
I enjoy reading about the history of the real locos. It would be nice if Lionel included specifics of dates of service on a class of locos and specific engine numbers with their product packaging.
