Steam Switcher of the 1950s

[NW Modeling List]

Jack,
The S-1 model by PFM-Tenshodo shows up frequently on feebay and brass sites. Price varies quite a bit and can run from $185-395. The very correct S-1a by PFM many years later also shows up frequently at the same places. The S-1a tends to be very expensive ($495-895) but is a great model and runs well. The older S-1 is a typical Japanese import of the era and is bullet proof and smooth running.
The Life Like P2K USRA 0-8-0 is a really fine locomotive. They are regulars on feebay in new condition from about $139-240. While it's a great model it needs many details changed or added to make it an S-1 or S-1a. That all depends on how particular you are. Unless you're a true rivet counter this is a good way to go.
Good hunting! Roger HuberDeer Creek Locomotive Works

I checked brasstrains.com but no S1A shows up.  Keep a check on their website-S1 locos show up occasionally.

I am looking for a HO scale N&W steam switcher, such as a 0-8-0, that was used in and around the Lamberts Point yard and Norfolk during the 1950s.  Anyone know where I might find one?​  Thanks,

Jack Fletcher
