good news I had a 3/4 hour chat with Ken at Division Point Saturday morning
. This is a company that is interested in building true works of art .
plans are for a H1B hudson ala 2816 and a H1c Royal Hudson in 2010 its at
the planning stages right now . I have put them in touch with my friend a
walking talking steaming rairoad historian who is the fussiest got to
right modeler I know .( I have nick named him theChoo choo gruru Now this is
interesting Ken was concerned abouth the stainless steel boiler jacket . I
explained it was something special for 2850 in the Royal Tour in 1939 and it
was removed after the Royal Tour and stored somehow it reappeared on 2863
later (does anyone know the story of how thae stainless steel boiler jacket
got on 2863)
