Ho scale 611 in the 1950s

[NW Modeling List]

The Spirit of Roanoke lettering on the cab is an artifact applied by the VMT in very recent years (probably with the last five or six years) after it was put under the train shed.  Bev Fitzpatrick was the Executive Director of VMT. At this point it was the property of the museum.

The available on-line videos of 611 certainly bear that out.
