Whereabouts of 611 and 1218 Excursion Service Auxilliary Tend ers

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

The A-Tanks used with 1218 and 611 during their excursion careers were ex
L&N M-1 tenders.There were 3,the first one used with 611 had a tuscan red
stripe,it is now at the Indiana Transportation Museum with their
NICKLE PLATE # 587.
The tank used with 611 in the last days of the excursions was rebuilt with
welded sides and painted tuscan red,it is with Milw. 261.
The tank used with 1218 is at the Museum in Roanoke with the 1218.
These cars were modeled by Bachmann back in the mid 1980's.They still show
up at train shows from time to time.

Subject: Whereabouts of 611 and 1218 Excursion Service Auxilliary Tenders

I want to model the Auxilliary Tenders that the 611 and 1218 during
their days in Excursion Service.  Ideally, I'd like to know where these
A-Tanks are located so I can measure and photograph them.  But if
they're not available for inspection, I'll settle for drawings,
diagrams, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.
