Bill Yoder-the 3/4-inch audit guy
Hi Everybody-- Bill Yoder in Germany who has amassed a large listing of 3/4" locomotives and photographs, is still looking for the whereabouts of a Langworthy Hudson.
He describes this item thusly :
" One of my main questions now: I’m listing the original Langworthy Hudson, code designation “464.NYC5297.Langworthy”, as sold and relettered to Southern #1501. Is that correct, is that really the same loco? Who can help me out? "
Anybody know ?

Re: Bill Yoder-the 3/4-inch audit guy
Bill Yoder has just updated his 3/4 inch scale registry. It now contains 457 locomotives in 14 PDF files! Even if you don't model in 3/4 inch it is well worth your time to browse through this amazing collection.

The unknown Niagara #6000 on page 40 of part 11, maybe Harold Crouch’s of Fingerlakes Live Steamers. It was sold to Jonathan Liebabe (spelling maybe wrong) of Massachusetts. Both have passed away.

Re: Bill Yoder-the 3/4-inch audit guy
Jonathan Leiby is the correct spelling.
that loco is not Harold's..it never had a cab in any of the pictures or 'real life' encounters that I saw.

Too many things going on to bother listing them.
Re: Bill Yoder-the 3/4-inch audit guy
Harold had a cab on it when he visited the NJLS many years ago. It had no running boards and no cab roof, but it did have a cab.Bill Shields wrote: ↑Tue Jan 01, 2019 10:05 pm Jonathan Leiby is the correct spelling.

However....that is not his 4-8-4 pictured on page 40 of the roster.

Re: Bill Yoder-the 3/4-inch audit guy
ah...ok...no cab roof.....giggle....well I was 2/3 correct which is better than average.
Maybe he had taken the cab sides off before I saw it.
will need to go back and look at Jim's pictures for personal edification.
The last time I spoke with Jon Leiby about it (around 2009), the frames were 'tweeked' as the result of a collision with the ground, and the axles would not turn.

Re: Bill Yoder-the 3/4-inch audit guy
which means 'no tender'.....Everett died before he got started on it.
I was helping him design a propane burner for it.
Jon Leiby had his eye on this loco...was waiting for the museum to decide they wanted to do something with it besides sit in a back room.
