@harmonyards posted:That would only really matter if you were modeling a specific area of the Central. They tended to keep engines in their districts. sometimes things would get shifted around as more modern steam was developed, and power was needed elsewhere,…but typically when you see NYC Lines or NYC System, we’re discussing west enders, on those roads acquired after the parent was formed, ……I model just north of the city, in Croton, which the yards and shops were named Harmon. So no NYC Lines or System would show up on that district unless it was moved for a power redistribution…..when a new engine arrived on the scene, the next in line got bumped, repeat, repeat, repeat,…

Yeah, I like to run what I buy/or want to have. I do know that there have been mistakes, I believe the Ten Wheeler, forgot the number but it has New York Central Lines on the tender. I think someone may have also said that either it was quite the right tender, but definitely shouldn't have had lines on it.
I know that some engines were never on the NYC proper, like the Berkshire A2 that lovely engine MTH made, but it is one heck of a beaute or beast depending on how you look at it. Beast I mean as an imposing look to it. Ah, but Hudson's will always be my favorite.
