Hello all
1940 SC catalog ...K4 chassis now sold with drivers attached ..the single piece frame had arrived ...
SC found it cheaper / more reliable if they put the drivers on ..less pieces ..less chance of user "error" ... also reverse unit that use to hang under cab ...is now disguised as the smoke stack ...just give it a twist .
The center axle drive / single piece chassis on the K4 ...seem to be the harder one to find ..being introduced in 1940 ..everything stops spring of 42 .....not too many were made ...as the O scale market was probably K4 saturated.... SC selling them since 1933 , and offered by Icken , Icken/ Barker, Egolf, Alexander , MiLoco , Scale Railway Models , and a few much smaller outfits from as early as 1926 ... all these other K4's by the other manufacturers are much harder to find than the SC versions ..
Cheers Carey
yes the smoke stack knob has been installed up side down ...clever these builders ..and you wonder why SC just installed the drivers not trusting that to the end user .....
