Gillum K-2
Jim would not have done a modeling article (in the nature of a conversion
or construction) on any N&W engine as he was not a model "builder" in the
true sense. He was more properly a collector and owned just about every N&W
engine ever produced in HO scale*, including some conversions done by Tom
Dressler. (*Other than multiple runs of the same model.)
