[PRR-talk] PRR H class 2-8-0

[Tom Hayden]

>Bruce,

It's possible that Kenny does not know what PRRPro is :

It's a Group at yahoo!

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PRRPro/

Go to that link and join .

And Bruce, I was unaware you had done an improved backhead on your I1. I 
could not find any photos of your backhead.

Thanks,

Tom Hayden

>First PRRPro.  that will be a couple of projects in the future, but

>As for the backhead, good question!  Maybe we can get someone to take
>a photo of the H10 at the RRMofPA.  I basically built a new backhead
>for my Bowser I1 using styrene and available commercial brass
>castings.  Photos of it are on the PRRPro site.
