614 Alaskan w/ diecast atachment

[Anonymous]

  Has anyone ever heard of the 614 Alaskan switcher with a diecast ventilation attachment? I always wondered about this as my grandfather had one and I know they are usually plastic.

Repro air tanks were made in diecast many years ago. That's what you must have.

A couple of other plastic parts that were reproduced in metal:

Platform for #69 maintenance car

turret roof section for #52 fire car (original was not a seperate casting, but often broken off)
