My forte' is more along the lines of green engines :) Ones with Castle, Saint,
Hall type names :) That or LMS stuff (Black 5's, Princesses and so on)
I'd have to dig through what little I have left on US railways ( I gave away my
MR collection before I moved out here, not enough space...)
I think though, that the UP Armour Yellow came out in 39-41 timeframe. Not
