No. Neither is the Kanawha. Original target date was October. Now it's November. It may be in the shipment that supposedly just arrived. Gene

Does this mean I'm going to have to buy a PM version and reletter it for C&O? When C&O relettered the PM Berkshires they left them "just the way they were" to include road number and merely painted "Chesapeake & Ohio" on tender. At the same time they put in storage any Mike with the same number. I'm already thinking that VT&P really needs an ex-C&O Kanawha. Gene

I understand that. But when C&O aquired PM in 1948 it used the PM Berks. That means I could be very authentic by taking say, famous 1225, painting over Pierre Marquette and replacing it with Chesapeake & Ohio. I have a C&O on order from the COHS. I have too many 2-8-4s! Gene

Currently I have on PFM, painted by somebody else. The paint job is beautiful, but not accurate as the tender has the gold C&O donut which was only painted on one 2-8-4, which was a Berkshire aquired from the PM, and not a Kanawha. I also have two P2Ks, both with sound I installed. I also have an Mantua 2-8-4, which is really a Mike with a four wheel trailing truck. Gene

As you already have them are they plastic or metal bodied. I'm hoping they are plastic as I'd like to convert them into the correct variant for the roadnumber as the C&O locos were built in four groups by Lima, Alco, Alco, Lima, each with slight variances to the original group. I tried to do that the with the P2K locos but as they were such poor runners I gave up and sold them on ebay so they'd be some one eles's problem. I still have my brass ones but wheel wear is starting to set in so I'll be visiting Greenway products soon for some wheels. Regards Ozzie21 The C&O Kanawahas look NICE. I don't know about the NKP yet as I havent opened thier box yet. Tomorrow I process them and what not so should be fun.
Hey Bach-Man is the 2nd C&O Number delayed? We only had one number show and two NKP's.
