Need brass PFM N&W 'A' tender

[NW Modeling List]

Dave

Not knowing exactly where you live...

The Great Scale Model Train Show in Timonium MD is this weekend 
starting at 9am Saturday.

There are usually a number of brass vendors which carry the older used 
brass.

You might find what you are seeking...

In any event, even a day spent at the GSMTS is a great fun.
