Q&A February 2025 (THL)

Eric,

Interesting thread.  Attached is a photo I found (somewhere) of Monon 2-10-2 #606 in Kansas City.  Sorry, no date, time or other description.

A photo of a KCS 2-10-2 taken in Lafayette has been posted on the "French Lick West Baden Museum" Facebook page, and also reposted on the "Monon Railroad" FB page. There's also photos of a couple more of the engines that the Monon lent to KCS taken in the same timeframe. After studying it, I don't think it's one of the 2-10-2's that Monon lent to KCS during the war. It's the right timeframe (1942-3) but there's too many differences to be an L-1. Looks more like a USRA 2-10-2, with Southern Valve Gear, a road pilot, a second sand dome, etc. I'm posting a couple more of KCS 220 at Shops in this thread today.

Hello all!

If anyone has any insight on getting the Lynne made, that is a project for the Society to get produced and offered for sale. Please let me know so I can work on this! Trying to find a manufacturer that is already making a car close to it that maybe we can get them to modify with a different roof, or whatever is needed to match Lynne.

As most of you know by now, we have a kit for the wide vision caboose entering production which will be for sale very soon!

We also have new boxcar kits from Accurail available now too!

Thanks in advance!!

Nice!
