[modeleng] Re: Poultney Locomotive

Thanks both I am far from convinced that the loco is River Esk not least 
because it has a tender cab making it impossible for a full sized driver to fit 
in a 15" loco. I think it is much bigger than that and moreover is clearly a 
works photo of an actual, constructed, loco. I'll gladly send a scan of the 
plate to anyone interested who contacts me. I suggest that is done off list 
just to save junk on this horribly busy board.

Again thanks for the ideas.
