Hornby called all the ones with " City of " in their name, Coronation class. It was like a class inside a class.

The PGW has been running it 3 German decapods.
* First is it's oldest. By that I mean the one that the PGW, had the longest. This one is a BR 52. With a very special tender. It recycles the steam produced back to water again. Made by Gutzold.
* Second is Another BR 52. That is the second one assigned to the PGW. It was made by Kleinbahn.
* Third and the last to be transfered to the PGW, is a BR 50 named the "Black Mustang". This locomotive was made by Fleischmann.

* Your continuing support of the PGW's Frankford Branch is well appreciated here in Bergen Point. The addition of the long needed 0-4-0 four wheel type fills a need in our downtown Jersey City branch. You are very familiar with older cities and the tight radius turns in place here. The 0-6-0t are having derailment problems, and the addition of this locomotive will we hope alleviate this concern.
* Looking forward to accepting delivery of the Pug.
** CE. Frankford, PGW.

I didn't think anybody wanted it. Valve gear was missing on one side. It was only plastic valve gear. They, Gotzold BR 52, kept the locomotive as light as possiable. Because of the tender drive. I sold it a few months ago at a train show.

Hey Buss. I had a bachmann set, and it fell apart as I ran it. I sold the cars and threw away the engine.

* Mine was a used train at a less expensive price. Even with that, most of that manufactures locomotives I have are gone to the parts bin, to strip for usefull parts. Also you may have the Hornby. They are good.
