Lima's last 4-8-4 Northern, or Greenbriers as they were called, was built for the Chesapeake & Ohio and numbered 614.

Chesapeake & Ohio #614. Last 4-8-4 built by Lima.

It's really kind of hard to support your local hobby shop when the nearest hobby shop that's worth the name is a 150 mile roundtrip.

Yes it was built for the C&O but just before it was delivered C&O backed out of the deal and it went to the New York Central.

Total guess for the N&W just because it was one of the last railroads to dieselize.
