Would anybody have additional information on this engine? A gentleman named Everet Chapman owned it. It's a 1" scale 4-4-0. Did this engine run onn the old Waushakum track?
Thanks
Bernie

Hey Bernie,
I am assuming that Mr Chapman didn't build it. If so, I seem to remember a loco like that but painted green. I will look through some old photo,s and see what I can find. Could you bring it down to the International High Line Meet at Southwick in May?

I knew you wouldn't let me down. It's important to keep track of who built what.
Steve, that might be an option. I haven't fired it up yet. It looks well built.

Try a few beers… I had a well built girlfriend in high school that got fired up after a couple of cold ones. :wink:

I'll see you later today to lend a hand getting the engine onto a bench. I'll bring the good camera to snap some pics too.

Sorry, no photos of the girlfriend though…
