I am looking for Bachmann locomotives, very old time models of the John Bull, The lafayette, The Prussia, and the Pegasus. They don't need to be in running condition. Just look nice for use on a HO durama I am building the first Jersey City depot on the Hudson. The year would be around 1841. This is when the first picture of a completed depot is seen. From 1837 when the New Jersey Railroad & Transportation Company opened service from Jersey City's Hudson River shore to the City of New Brunswick NJ. and with in a year this line was open to Philadelphia by use of the connecting tracks of the Camden & Amboy RR this terminal was used by the New Jersey Railroad along with the Patterson and Hudson River Railroad, Camden & Amboy RR, The Central Railroad of New Jersey, And the Morris and Essex RR. In a few years they would be joined by the Paterson and Ramapo RR, The Northern Railroad, The Hackensack and New York RR and then the New York & Eire. Very few people know of this.
* Because of the Importance of this first Railroad terminal on the Hudson River, one which time has practically forgotten, I felt a need to do what I can, to show whoever I can, what it looked like. Maybe someday talented historians and artists can recreate this first depot. I would love to see it done beautifully by professionals.
Just me, Frank

The ones I do have are the loco De-Witt Clinton. It is complete with 1 car. I also have a John Bull without a tender. I have 5 0r 6 of these cars that go with the Bull. Of the B&O lafayette set I only have the cars to it. The Prussia set I only has 2 or 3 cars to it. The pegasus set I have nothing to. It seems to use Camden and Amboy style cars, but colored a dark red with white roof.
Just me frank.

Sounds like a great historical train project, and I wish you the best of luck. Unfortunately I do not have these items, but will keep an eye out for you.
