Today i will not present you models from Euro countries, just a recent buy near a friend in your country, a Lionel 392e loco in black with copper trim. It will complete my gun metal one with six wheels tender. That one comes from the Chicago area and is not in too bad condition and an important thing for me is that it is all original.
The only problem is that the tender is missing.... I have a 384T one with copper journals, could it match perfectly with my engine ? It has a green stripe and i don't know if 392e locos sold with the 384T tender had or not a green stripe. I have seen 384t tenders all black but not really sure if originals or not. TCA book, Doyle and even Greensberg are not of great precision about this.
Many thanks and have a great tinplate weekend, Daniel
