Hello T1 fans
Looks like Mac Lowery had a pair of T1's back in 1955 ... could this be one of them?
Cheers Carey

Hum for some reason photos can not be added ?
The board quota has been reached ?
Photos can be found in Model Railroader Sept 1955 issue ... wear a bib

Well, if you're getting those board quota messages, means you are not using a photo hosting service, and the server is full.
Based upon past experience, a purge is coming.
After the last purge, most of us shifted to a hosting service to try to forestall another purge.

Hint:
Copy everything you think you might need off this forum, as when it's purged, it's gone.
Dave....gone by invitation

Hello T 1 fans
I think we have found the T1's father ( or possible father DNA testing to follow)... Charles McCune of Pittsburgh gave birth to a lovely T1 in 1947 . Which if it is the same one that went to Mac Lowery place by 1955 is not out of the question crossing stateline at about 75 miles spread
I pulled the previous photos due to space conderations ... I can pull these down also in a few days .
Cheers Carey
