<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The auxiliary tender released with the old Bachmann
J (and the Bachmann Plus J) was correct for the excursion aux tenders, since it
was model of the aux cut down from the L&N Emma tenders. So far as I know,
it is out of production, but you can pick one up now and then at a show or on
ebay. Don't know where you would find drawings, since N&W did not do the
conversions. (I think the Southern steam program did at least
one conversion at Irondale, and one of them was probably converted by
L&N as a diesel fuel transporter.)The Auxillary tender released with the
Specruum J (in current production) is a very correct model of the Aux tenders
which N&W used when steam was in service (pre 1960), and is thus not correct
for the excursion aux tenders. The 611 and 1218 each had their own aux in
excursion service, appropriately painted in each case (with slight detail
differences). From photos, it appears that they were sometimes swapped.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> Excursion 611 had some openings in the skyline
casing covered which were open on the in service J's. It also had twin sealed
bean headlight, rather than one bulb and reflector which J's used when in
regular service.. The boards on the 1218 tender date from its in service time. I
am not sure about the 611. Photos should tell you. Jim

<P class=MsoNormal>My research is going well on the project for producing
large scale N&W A class and J class locomotives. We are discussing what
versions of the locomotives to do. So far we are have discussed the in-service
and excursion versions of #611 and #1218. Can the list members please provide
some insight to the following questions. Other loco numbers being considered
610, 612, 613, 1200, 1210, 1217 and 12 42.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>What are some of the differences between the in-service and
excursion version of #611?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>What are some of the differences between the in-service and
excursion version of #1218?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Did both 611 and 1218 use the boards on the tender coal
bunker? Was this for in-service or excursion service only?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The Bachmann auxiliary tender that originally came out with
their HO J class, is it an accurate representation of the auxiliary tender 611
used? If not are there drawings available for aux tender used in excursion
service?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Did 1218 and 611 use the same aux tender or did they each
have their own?<o:p></o:p></P>
