I was out at a flea market and saw a few cheap locks with a key. Looking at the railroad it was NCStL. I'm from West Kentucy on the Bruceton to Paducah branch of the NC. NC stuff isn't rare but not common. The lock was dated 1957 which puts it at when the L&N started running the railroad. Key is a Slaymaker from the same time as the lock. I have two Fraim NC switch keys so was happy to get one from another maker. Last I paid 40 for all so wasnt too bad. Enjoy

Sweet Nickle Plate finds! Now, if it was SAL/ACL/Sou. or FEC, I'd be PM'ing ya right about now! " Heck with counting 'em rivets, TRAINS ARE FOR FUN! Not called the Mad Scientist for nothing either!"

Good finds. Used to be worth more, but eBay banned selling the stuff - too hard for them to tell vintage from modern stuff still being used - so it's difficult to sell.
