N&W K question

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Bob - My stock answer to your statement is that it's your basement, your railroad, and your scheme, paid for with your money.  If a non-streamlined K suits you, then go for it.  If the purists object, let 'em.

I've got a heavy 4-8-2, and the only thing I've done to it is replace the stock 12,000-gallon tender with a USRA 10,000 one which is correct for the K-2 as built.  It looks fine to me.  It still has the stock lettering, which is pre-WWII, and it's the 120, which was the number that came out of the box.  It's a good-looking engine - maybe the best looking non-streamlined engine N&W ever had.  I like it.

I'll run it with post-war N&W stuff, and post-war cars.  My railroad, my scheme, and I paid for it.  

OK?

  I guess the short answer to my original post then is if I had a K in non-streamlined attire, so to speak, and lettered it for the appropriate engine number, it would not be out of place on an N&W-themed layout set in 1953 along the New River region.....

    You're correct.  I tried to remember the engine on the local that
    was rear-ended at Wallace in 1953 by The Tennessean.  Rereading
    the report, it was Eng 105.
