@PRR 5841 posted:For clarification, was the J1 on the steam chest only used on the War Babies 605-610?
Yes, it would have been changed to "J" when it was streamlined and got new rods.
Also, were solid pilot truck wheels used only on the post-war deliveries 611-613?
The solid pilot wheels came as delivered on the 611-613 but all of the earlier engines got solid wheels eventually.
The model in question is on eBay and set to finish tomorrow night, currently bid at $1925. Glad I’m NOT involved.
I'm glad I'm not either. That would be disappointing to learn what's up after the fact.
