Um, I think you guys need to parse a wee bit more carefully. I commented on how large the numbers are, NOT on their originality.....
Holy Fook, Batman!

Erich ; So you know what you got. That is the Illinois Central, locomtoive # 382. Varney's model of the "Casey Jones". That is what they called it no matter what road name was no it . The same engine with the 2-8-0 drive was the" Old Lady. " frank
