Tramp, TAS is in the process of moving to a new location plus they have York coming up. So I told Phil I would'nt sent it until around June if I decide it's worth doing. Also I contacted Gary today and he is going to send me some front marker castings with LED's because the production run of the Niagara did'nt come with them. The way he explained it, was the brackets are on the front for them, but in all the photos, no Niagara was ever seen running with them. I'd like them on my model and I'm glad he's willing to help me.

I just ordered one of these. It looks like it would be an interesting kit to put together and set on a siding. Has anyone else built one?

Well, John, if you want a sure ticket out of there, you could open up the discussion to the Johnson Bar, Tri Cocks, Gauge Cocks, Cylinder Cocks, Blow Down Lever, and the Mud Ring. Not only that, but many steamers are followed by a tender.

Add to that, the fireman operates a device call the Injector. The Injector would make a wonderful Forum name.

BTW, you forgot your Easter Egg

Mornin'. Say, Jon, that crane boom looks just right for the next hangin' 'round your parts. By the way, we never did get the rest of the story on that one.

I HATE TAXES....

Amaile, I wish you'd stop saying that word. I get sick every time I hear it.

Amalie, the story as of yet is to be completed!!!!

Tramp, how about 2 birds with one stone!!! Gary at 3rd Rail said if I purchased one of their Hudsons, the Niagara centipede tender will plug right into the back of the Hudson!!!

Tramp · Postby **Tramp** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 11:02 am

Jon, you beat me to it, you . . . I was going to see if they would put me a Hudson together with a PT tender. I can't believe you thought of it too.

Tramp, thanks! I had first asked Gary if there were any extra tenders left over and he said on that particular run there were'nt any. That's when he researched the plug compatability. I'll keep an eye out on Ebay for one because they're still wanting 999.00 to purchase one from them.

So, are you a dyed-in-wool brass guy now? What does that mean, anyway. Died in wool? Dyed in wool?

2railjon · Postby **2railjon** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 11:59 am

Yep! You're to blame!! :lol:
