Looks Great.....I wonder if they are going to put the 9423 back into Pennsy colors....I see it there sitting in the background. Nice to see all these former NH&I loco's in once place again. |

If it was number 8019 on the Pennsy, why not give it its old number back? And the 9069 number doesn't seem to have any historical significance from its other owners since it was a PRR locomotive. I am sure there must be some reasoning for this number. Can anyone explain it? Thanks. Les |

Jeff Land of run-on sentences Jeff - Thanks very much for the clarification. Apparently SMS's website, as reported by Mr. Mitchell, uses the word NEW to indicate the number of the locomotive when it was first delivered to whomever purchased the engine. I took it to mean that new was the NEW number given to the engine. My misinterpretation. Sorry for the confusion. Les |
