Anyone know what the collection list is for "Train World"? According to Wall Street Journal, there is a "hidden" collection of locomotives to be revealed. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323864304578316141212124624.html?KEYWORDS=steam Not sure how reliable the "news" is. |

The article addresses this where some say locomotives were hidden from management over the system: Quote: "It's a bit of an urban legend," sniffs SNCB spokesman Erik Sclep. He says the company started planning its heritage collection seriously in the 1980s, and "only a very few" trains from the steam era were hidden away.

The news statements are circular. The spokesman says "no", but then says "a few" were in fact hidden. Anyone with more direct knowledge speak up. |

Worth the time to read. The part that caught my eye was about museum groups sitting down and "horse trading" to get pieces in the collections where they fit best. It would be quite incredible, though a service in the name of history, if that could happen in the US. Rob |
