[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by deschane I have built a Bowser Old Lady Consolidation. I found the kit to be well made, reliable and pulls a plow horse. They say Bowser locos can pull wallpaper off the walls! [/quote] You are right about pulling power.Bowser, Penn Line, Mantua, Varney...they all had it ! Not to be contrarian, but just to throw a little credit even further back in time...that Old Lady was originally a Varney. Bowser acquired both the Old Lady 2-8-0 and Casey Jones 4-6-0 dies & tooling from the remnants of the Varney company...giving another generation of modellers access to these two units pioneered by Gordon Varney in the 50's. Both engines were also released as "Screwdriver Series" kits in the late 50's...marketed as such, for those who did not wi***o drill or tap holes, or do any riveting. I assembled a Casey Jones back in 1958, and did it poorly...wish I had left it untouched for a few years...[:(] regards Mike[:D]
