        I'm wondering if the cab in Roanoke is also a J cab. There was one being used for some purpose in the erecting shop (as I recall) when my Dad and I toured the shop in the late 40's or early 50's. I seem to remember that they had made two extra J cabs, the one in the shop we saw and the one for the Bussa Hobby Shop in Friendship, Ohio.

                Thanks, Ken.  Shortly after I met Tom Dressler about 1963 or so, we went over to that railroad display, which, if I remember right, was built and operated by a man named Busse.  I bought one of his O-gauge engines = a Varney 4-6-0 (B&O prototype) which was a fine running model.  I had it for a number of years.So I saw that cab; it was most interesting.- Ed King-----Original Message----- From: NW Mailing ListSent: Monday, June 15, 2020 10:16 AMTo: NW Mailing ListSubject: Re: N&W steam loco cabEdThat cab was carried to Roanoke in exchange for a 611 cab ride, must have been 1986 or so, it ended up in Birmingham and the gauges and such were removed for use on 611/1218. It was there when the program was ended and sold at the Auction in February 1995. If I recall correctly, it went to someone in the Carolinas and about 4-5 years back was sold at another auction. I have no idea where it went from there.BestKen Miller> On Jun 15, 2020, at 8:33 AM, NW Mailing List <nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org> > wrote:>> Speaking of N&W steam engine cabs, does anyone know what happened to the > cab that was made for display at an O-gauge railroad west of Portsmouth? > You entered the layout room through this cab, decorated like a J cab.>> - Ed King>________________________________________NW-Mailing-List at nwhs.orgTo change your subscription go tohttp://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-mailing-listBrowse the NW-Mailing-List archives athttp://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-mailing-list/ ________________________________________NW-Mailing-List at nwhs.orgTo change your subscription go tohttp://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-mailing-listBrowse the NW-Mailing-List archives athttp://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-mailing-list/
