Question and Answers (Q&A) / Re: Q&A February 2025 (THL)
« Last Post by George Lortz on December 02, 2025, 12:49:28 pm »
Rick,

I have answers to two of these questions.  What is the procedure in the future for answering questions?  My understanding is that the Q&A will no longer be printed in THL.

Sorry if I missed the announcement on this su[not allowed]ect.

Steam Locomotives / Re: Steam locomotives loaned to KCS during WW2

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.

These photos of KCS 220 at Shops show pretty clearly that it's not one of the three 2-10-2's the Monon lent to KCS, but it does have a capped stack, making it look a bit like it could be. I wonder why it was there. Photo is dated 11/24/1942.

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.

Generic Modeling Discussion / Looking to buy HO Scale
« Last Post by Wayne Zeman on November 16, 2025, 10:00:49 pm »
Good evening!

I am in search of HO scale Monon items that you may have decided to move on!

In particular, any boxcars with grain hatches, tanker cars, and passenger cars. Locomotives too!

Let me know!

Thanks!!!

Ho Scale Monon / Model of Business Car #2, the Lynne
« Last Post by Wayne Zeman on November 15, 2025, 04:03:22 pm »
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!!
