Tell us more, this is the first I've heard of it that I can recall, and I've seen a few ACG never-built prototypes.Yeah Rusty, that's a very intriguing piece of information. I'd like to hear about that more than the original topic...which I didn't ask for!
There was a photo in one of the Touhy-McComas books, don't remember which offhand.
Anyway, it wasn't much to look at and nowhere near an operating prototype: A bare wooden boiler over two un-motored Husdon mechanisms. No Tender mock-up as I recall. The mock-up is currently in the hands of a Chicago area Flyer collector.
(Hint, hint) This would be a good choice if Lionel ever does another Flyer articulated. Pick up where ACG left off.
