Live Steam Model J

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Ron & Dave,

The note on one of the "builder's cards" of #600, talks of a 1 1/2" scale 
model on exhibit (doesn't say where), built by machinist W.E. Cowling of 
Bluefield, who spent 3 1/2 years building it.  Says it will pull three model 
coaches and 25 persons at about 20 MPH.  It has a stoker, feed-water pump 
and is self-lubricating.
