Bowser announcement

[NW Modeling List]

Thanks Ken, that definitely answered my question.  I had remembered seeing one of the C420 units in the "n & w" black livery and just wondered if any of the C425's might have also gotten it.

The Archives does not have a huge selection of photos of and C425, but the 1013 in the large “N&W” scheme does not seem likely, as this photo from the Archives:

https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nwhs.org%2Farchivesdb%2Fdetail.php%3FID%3D164156&data=05%7C02%7C%7Cb40e6c2263ce4ecc397a08de0f4d07d5%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638965020673440661%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=LhOjc7tlnWXKnqZochVJb7Jb906cuzw9dMpsCtcUEeY%3D&reserved=0<https://www.nwhs.org/archivesdb/detail.php?ID=164156>

Depicts it stored in 1984 in very faded blue, and it was sold that year.

Bob Bowers database on our website indicated it was stored in 2019 awaiting wheel work. The only thing I can find is a photo of it stored at Gowand, NY taken in July, that shows it continuing to deteriorate with lots of rusty paint. If it needs wheel work, it likely may not be able to move or interchange without that work being done.

Seems a shame to see it rotting into the ground, but likely the cost of moving it prohibits much museum opportunity.

So it could be offered in original black, and the blue and gold schemes.

I will commit to purchasing a #1013 through the Society if offered, with the proviso that it would have to be in the as delivered scheme (black with the hamburger style heralds)
