Andy Jackson General This is only 1242 SSB1200 TR4 L&A 4/2/2018 8:22:43 PM
Andy Jackson General Was going by the old nomenclature & #s like when they were TR4 L&A. But finally saw a clear picture of 1243 on the side of the headlight on the old A unit. So had to go back & change all the nomenclature given to all the others. Have been collecting pix of SSB1200s because at one time Los Angeles Junction was going to get 4 (1221, 1223, 1235 & 1241) from Santa Fe their owner. LAJ never got them because the were derailed on the way. They were sent back east so LAJ was told to keep using the loaner CF7s. But Have an Kato NW2 in the SSB1200 Warbonnet scheme so will have them on my LAJ layout since it's my MR! Their were only 3 NW2s that became SSB1200s but will keep mine as a replacement when the others go for routine maintenance. 4/3/2018 5:46:18 PM
