No.7

[NW Mailing List]

If you check American Flyer catalogs of about 1954 or 1955, you will find descriptions of train sets in which a steam locomotive and tender counted for two units.

One of the steam engines was a Nickel Plate 0-8-0, although there were none from the N&W proper, and certainly no articulateds.
