MNCW, nice find! the IVES 3254 and the AF 3019 are a great souvenirs of the Westchester & Train show last Saturday. By your description of the historic accident of the AF 3019 (but you had to see the other guy!) you have made a magical recovery! Revived with scars of great character.The headlight on this engine is so classically placed. Really like the look.
nice to have met you.
