Iam glad someone responed to the great trains that came in and out of the old MC terminal in Detroit. If my memory is correct the color of the Cleveland Mercury equipment was a light gray. I must have watched that particular train go by when me and my bike was parked at the tracks near 20th Street,during the evening Summer months when it leaving ole MC Terminal,many many times pulled by the mighty streamlined 4-6-4's. <br /> I think that I had the rare opportunity of climbing aboard one GTW'S streamlined version 6400's when it was parked at the roundhouse at the Milwaukee Junction, it was really a thrill for a young teenager that one never forgets. <br /> I hope that was some help for you getting started on the model of the Mercury. <br /> No, I was not aware that of Mr. H. Lansing Vail, passed away. I guess that happens when I did not renewed my membership with NYCHC this year. Thanks for letting me know. Hope to hear more about your project,good luck.
