(...) If you're talking about the 9V series only, then the Metroliner set is by far the most sought after set and commands the highest price. The 4551 Crocodile engine comes as a close second. -Harvey (24 years ago, 15-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Why? (...) But then you miss the beauty of the model! The proto actually employs a double tub floor design, which "increases coal hauling capacity by up to 21 tons per car over traditional flat bottomed gondolas" (from their web site). That (...) (24 years ago, 15-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I love the green building, that is a standout model! I should build my bank in that color, it looks like money! Oh well... Josh (24 years ago, 15-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch)

(...) 6 wide, 8 wide, who cares. It's a great model, period (I've seen it in the flesh, John brought it to the train summit). I think we should let the whole 6-8 thing drop. It's just as bad to rag on someone for making 8 as it is to rag on someone (...) (24 years ago, 14-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)

Although I built this MOC last year, I never got around to posting pics of it. It is a model of a Johnstown America Corporation's Bethgon Coalporter, a rotary dump hopper. I have posted the MOC and a pic of the proto here: (URL) can read more about (...) (24 years ago, 14-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)
