<div dir="auto">Ken,<div dir="auto">Thank you for the link and photo. I have seen that photo of which was taken 1-2 months after delivery of the first units. Unless I can find additional information from the archives it looks like I will be adding the grab irons to my locomotives. It's hard to believe that Bowser missed that detail.</div><div dir="auto">Thanks again.</div><div dir="auto">Larry Brown </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jan 29, 2025, 11:25 AM NW Modeling List <<a href="mailto:nw-modeling-list@nwhs.org">nw-modeling-list@nwhs.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Larry<br>

> Hello all,<br>
> I am looking for information related to the original RS3's that were delivered to the N&W in 1955. Specifically my question is related to the grab irons on the end of the long and short hoods. Did the original locomotives have these grab irons? I have 2 Bowser RS3's that I have disassembled and stripped ready for the black paint. Before I paint them I am looking to see if they were delivered with those grab irons. Thank you in advance for your help.<br>
