Ho scale 611 in the 1950s

[NW Modeling List]

Hi everyone I just wanted to let you all know that I will be trying to get rid of the MTH j I have and get a BLI version. Does anyone here know of a good way to move a engine like this quickly? I don’t want to see it again I hate it. It’s mostly the drawl bar on it. Thank you all for you help.

Sincerely,
Jeff Mueller

>>> I’m no expert, but I surmise that in addition to the Spirit of Roanoke designation for the refurbished/restored 611, the actual black paint on the restored (excursion version) of the 611 was glossier than the paint on the engines while they were in service.  The available on-line videos of 611 certainly bear that out.
