Those who elected to move from Michigan to Texas reported back almost daily on the amazing cultural differences...from real estate zoning attitudes, bearing arms, high school football mania (not basketball!!!), etc., to dozens of "festivals". Among the latter to grab their attention was the annual Sweetwater Rattlesnake Roundup....drawing crowds in excess of 20,000 folks, and accumulating a pit full of several TONS of rattlesnakes! Yeeeee-hawwwww!!
But, lest we digress....anyone found a photo, yet, of one of those few engines with the double herald on the tender?? And, did anyone make O scale decal sets for the same??
Thanks, Tom, for your info!

Snakes usually don't bother me. However, a pit full of rattlesnakes would certainly get my attention and send a shiver up my spine. I wouldn't want to walk around a rail yard full of rattlesnakes in the dark either. NH Joe
