[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by ho.modeler</i> <br /><br />#1519 was the Steam shovel, Last year(?) they released another #1519 as the Snow Plow, #1521 was the diner (have one coming in from Ebay), what the heck was #1520? <br />Was there a #1520? Did they catch the goof-up with two #1519's? and skip #1520? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I have a Roundhouse catalog that is undated, probably from the 1980's - it shows the pile driver kit that I mentioned previously as being #1520. The Marion Steam Shovel is listed as #1519. <br /> <br />It states "Battle Mountain 'Pile Driver' should be arriving shortly! Just got our report - a kit for an engineer. On the other hand you, the modeler, must furnish great 'kit bashing'." The kit features (2) Models: (1) 36' box car & special molded pile driver boom (from an Athearn 205T crane); (1) molded 40' gondola kit. <br /> <br />As I noted previously MDC indicated to me in a letter a long time ago that #1520 was never produced. <br /> <br />The back page of the catalog illustrates other upcoming 3 in 1 kits as Late Arrivals, too late to include in the catalog, in the "Wheeling Steel Mill" Theme: <br /> <br />#1521 - Hot metal, thermos bottle, side dump 3-car set. <br />#1522 - Switcher (dummy) & HO shorty mill cars. <br />#1523 - Steel mill building kit, molded in stone & brick. <br /> <br />Hope this helps!
