IHC,NYCentral Pacific upgrade/super detail
Posted by mikebonellisr on Thursday, December 2, 2004 11:50 PM
I want to work on a IHC Pacific.I assume that it's pretty much a USRA version.Before I write to the NYC Historical society,I was wondering if any of you would know which K series would be the easiest to reproduce from that model?

Before asking the NYCHS, I'd do a little research online, specifically the NYC engine database on the Fallen Flags website:

Just from doing a quick look-through in the photo section, the K13's seem awfully close (Hodges trailing truck and a USRA-looking cab):

No problem Mike. Yeah, the internet is finally getting to the point where you can actually ask questions AND get reliable answers! I keep finding neat new sites every week!
