Northwest Shortlines E2a

[NW Modeling List]

Matt:

Which version did you find?  The 1940 version representing 578 with large 
tender, or the 1910 version?  The reason I ask is that I don't think both 
versions came from the same maker in Japan.  I found the 1940's version to 
be a very reliable runner.  I had an issue with the crude castings for the 
headlight and classification lights, so I replaced them with Cal-scale 
parts.  These models were produced in 1972.
