<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I can't answer your question directly because I don't know the answer, but I do know that there were "operator's manuals" for the LC2 electrics (and I'd have to assume for the LC1s as well....) because I have one in my possession. Someday when I've gone to my reward ("I was put on this earth to accomplish certain things, and at the rate I'm going I'll live forever!") it will go to the N&WHS archives.</FONT></DIV>

I hope this isn't a stupid question: Over the years, I've seen dozens of "operator manuals" for diesel locomotives for sale, but I've never seen one for a N&W steam locomotive (or any steam locomotive, for that matter). Is that because there simply wasn't one? Did you learn to become a steam locomotive engineer by serving as a fireman and then eventually "switch seats" when you were experienced enough? <BR><BR>Mike Weeks <BR>Greenville NC <BR><BR><BR>_________________________________ <BR>Mike Weeks, LCSW, LCAS <BR>M1, Brody School of Medicine 2013 <BR>MSW, UNC at Charlotte 2003 <BR>BS Acct, UNC at Charlotte 1989 <BR>________________________________________ <BR>NW-Mailing-List@nwhs.org <BR>To change your subscription go to <BR>http://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-mailing-list <BR>Browse the NW-Mailing-List archives at <BR>http://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-mailing-list/ <BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
