S. T. P. PART 2
55 WORDS

1. In part 1 we determined that 6 Flyer and 2 Lionel 0 - B - 0 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) models can be labeled as (_ - _ _ _ _ _) locomotives and the four Flyer 2 - B - 2’s could be referred to as models of P - (_ _ _ _ _ _).  (That’s the opinion of a slightly biased (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) at any rate.)
2. But what about Ives?  It was only after the (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) CT firm declared bankruptcy in 1928 and was subsequently purchased by Lionel and (_ _ _ _ _) that the Ives line had a model of an NYC (_ _ _ _ _ _).  Previously all Ives boxcabs had been based on a New (_ _ _ _ _) RR prototype.  To save money, Lionel modified the body of it’s No. (_ _ _ _ _) to fit the frame of the Ives No. 3236.
3. By the way, I’m only focusing on (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) and Wide Gauge locomotives, which is why I didn’t go into the O - Gauge (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) Flyer 3100, 3115 & 3020 or the Lionel 248 & 251 boxcabs.  This puzzle will highlight the Lionel and Ives (_ - _ _ _ _ _) center cab locos.  (Flyer didn’t have one that modeled the NYC design.)
4. Starting in 1910, (_ _ _ _ _ _) began a long line of Standard Gauge models based on the NYC S - Motors using three distinctive (_ _ _ _) styles.  Numbered 1910, 1911 & 1912 they set a pattern for both (_ _ _ _) and (_ _ _ _ _) that would last 30 plus years.
5. The 9 ¾ inch 0 - C - 0 No. 1910 of 1910 had (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) soldered by the side doors and ventilator (_ _ _ _ _) on the sides of it’s (_ _ _ _ _ _) hoods.  Lettered New York - (_ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _) and (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _), the loco underwent an extensive redesign in 1912, becoming the 10 3/8 inch long NYC loco that would evolve into the Nos. 34 and 33 in 1912 and 1913 respectively.  Late in 1913 the 0 - C - 0 1910 / 34 became an 0 - B - 0 along with the No. 33, the latter being available through 1924.
6. At 11 3/8 inches long, the 1911 NY, NH & H 0 - B - 0 shared many of the early features as it’s 1910 siblings.  And like it’s siblings it sired (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) offspring; the mid-range Nos. 38 & 53.  The 1911 however, had a (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) higher priced version that the 1910 / 34 / 33 never got.
7. (_ _ _ _) eights of an inch longer than the 0 - B - 0 No. 1911, the 1911 Special gave up it’s four delicate thin - (_ _ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _) wheels for eight smaller ones.  Still connected by drive (_ _ _ _), 1911 - 1912 0 - B - B - 0 had one powered and one (_ _ _ _ _) drive truck.
8. More prolific was the No. 1912 0 - B - B - 0 that would father the 1912 Special and the Nos. 42, 54, 402 & 408E.  The last two being 2 of the 3 most sought after (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) period electric outline locomotives Lionel made.  But, I don’t want to skip over these ancestors on our way to the top!
9. The No. 42 used the same 15 ½ inch long square (_ _ _ _) body as the Nos. 1912 and 1912 Special, the latter being made of unpainted (_ _ _ _ _) rather than enameled (_ _ _ _ _) (which is what made it “special”.)  In 1913 the No. 42 received the (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) hoods all Lionel electrics would keep through 1923.  Along the way, the 42 lost it’s sliding cab (_ _ _ _ _) but doubled in (_ _ _ _ _) with the addition of a second motor.
10. The early No. 54 was simply a renumbered 1912 Special, but now the 1913 0 - B - B - 0, still done in (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) brass, used (_ _ _ _ _) - rimmed drivers.  Like the No. 42, the No. 54 received a (_ _ _ _ _ _) motor in 1921.
11. Entering into the realm of Classic (_ _ _ _ _ _) Standard Gauge, the smallest S - Class electrics were replaced by the boxcab No. 8 and the (_ _. - _ _ _ _) - type No. 10.  Similarly, the Nos. 318 & 318E took over the (_ _ _ _ _ _) spot from the 1911 and it’s children.
12. Equipped with Lionel’s new (_ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _), the new Nos. 318, 318E, 402, 402E & 408E were more (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) and better (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) models than their predecessors.  Their bright brass (_ _ _ _) and more (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) paint schemes helped with (_ _ _ _ _) too!
13. Of the 318’s, the (_ _ _) green locos are the most (_ _ _ _ _ _) while the black 318E is the (_ _ _ _ _ _).  It could only be purchased as a component of the (_ _ _ _) Train Set with the equally rare (_ _ _ _ _) roofed No. 517 caboose and three (_ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _) No. 516 hoppers.
14. Slightly less rare are the versions of the Nos. 318 & 318E painted (_ _ _ _ _) brown with a (_ _ _ _ _) stripe that headed up the “(_ _ _ _) State Sets”.  We’ll get to that set’s “Big (_ _ _ _ _)” soon!

S. T. P. PART 2
55 WORDS

1. In part 1 we determined that 6 Flyer and 2 Lionel 0 - B - 0 (ELECTRIC) models can be labeled as (T - CLASS) locomotives and the four Flyer 2 - B - 2’s could be referred to as models of P - (MOTORS).  (That’s the opinion of a slightly biased (CLEVELANDER) at any rate.)
2. But what about Ives?  It was only after the (BRIDGEPORT) CT firm declared bankruptcy in 1928 and was subsequently purchased by Lionel and (FLYER) that the Ives line had a model of an NYC (BOXCAB).  Previously all Ives boxcabs had been based on a New (HAVEN) RR prototype.  To save money, Lionel modified the body of it’s No. (EIGHT) to fit the frame of the Ives No. 3236.
3. By the way, I’m only focusing on (STANDARD) and Wide Gauge locomotives, which is why I didn’t go into the O - Gauge (AMERICAN) Flyer 3100, 3115 & 3020 or the Lionel 248 & 251 boxcabs.  This puzzle will highlight the Lionel and Ives (S - CLASS) center cab locos.  (Flyer didn’t have one that modeled the NYC design.)
4. Starting in 1910, (LIONEL) began a long line of Standard Gauge models based on the NYC S - Motors using three distinctive (BODY) styles.  Numbered 1910, 1911 & 1912 they set a pattern for both (SIZE) and (PRICE) that would last 30 plus years.
5. The 9 ¾ inch 0 - C - 0 No. 1910 of 1910 had (HANDRAILS) soldered by the side doors and ventilator (FLAPS) on the sides of it’s (SQUARE) hoods.  Lettered New York - (NEW - HAVEN) and (HARTFORD), the loco underwent an extensive redesign in 1912, becoming the 10 3/8 inch long NYC loco that would evolve into the Nos. 34 and 33 in 1912 and 1913 respectively.  Late in 1913 the 0 - C - 0 1910 / 34 became an 0 - B - 0 along with the No. 33, the latter being available through 1924.
6. At 11 3/8 inches long, the 1911 NY, NH & H 0 - B - 0 shared many of the early features as it’s 1910 siblings.  And like it’s siblings it sired (MODERNIZED) offspring; the mid-range Nos. 38 & 53.  The 1911 however, had a (SPECIAL) higher priced version that the 1910 / 34 / 33 never got.
7. (FIVE) eights of an inch longer than the 0 - B - 0 No. 1911, the 1911 Special gave up it’s four delicate thin - (RIMMED) (CAST - IRON) wheels for eight smaller ones.  Still connected by drive (RODS), 1911 - 1912 0 - B - B - 0 had one powered and one (DUMMY) drive truck.
8. More prolific was the No. 1912 0 - B - B - 0 that would father the 1912 Special and the Nos. 42, 54, 402 & 408E.  The last two being 2 of the 3 most sought after (CLASSIC) period electric outline locomotives Lionel made.  But, I don’t want to skip over these ancestors on our way to the top!
9. The No. 42 used the same 15 ½ inch long square (HOOD) body as the Nos. 1912 and 1912 Special, the latter being made of unpainted (BRASS) rather than enameled (STEEL) (which is what made it “special”.)  In 1913 the No. 42 received the (ROUNDED) hoods all Lionel electrics would keep through 1923.  Along the way, the 42 lost it’s sliding cab (DOORS) but doubled in (POWER) with the addition of a second motor.
10. The early No. 54 was simply a renumbered 1912 Special, but now the 1913 0 - B - B - 0, still done in (POLISHED) brass, used (THICK) - rimmed drivers.  Like the No. 42, the No. 54 received a (SECOND) motor in 1921.
11. Entering into the realm of Classic (PERIOD) Standard Gauge, the smallest S - Class electrics were replaced by the boxcab No. 8 and the (ST. - PAUL) - type No. 10.  Similarly, the Nos. 318 & 318E took over the (MIDDLE) spot from the 1911 and it’s children.
12. Equipped with Lionel’s new (SUPER - MOTOR), the new Nos. 318, 318E, 402, 402E & 408E were more (GRACEFUL) and better (REFINED) models than their predecessors.  Their bright brass (TRIM) and more (COLORFUL) paint schemes helped with (SALES) too!
13. Of the 318’s, the (PEA) green locos are the most (COMMON) while the black 318E is the (RAREST).  It could only be purchased as a component of the (COAL) Train Set with the equally rare (BLACK) roofed No. 517 caboose and three (RUBBER - STAMPED) No. 516 hoppers.
14. Slightly less rare are the versions of the Nos. 318 & 318E painted (STATE) brown with a (CREAM) stripe that headed up the “(BABY) State Sets”.  We’ll get to that set’s “Big (DADDY)” soon!
