[PRR-talk] Kitbashing the N2sa was Interesting N2sa Variations

[Bill Box]

Bruce:

According to "Uncle Sam's Locomotives" by Eugene L. Huddleston, both the
USRA light mike and the heavy Santa Fe usually came fitted with the Lewis
Power Reverse. This is consistent with most of the photos of them I've seen
although the piping running in front of the PR makes identification
difficult. 

I included a diagram of the Lewis Power Reverse in my L2s article in TKM
#54.

Funny you should mention the power reverse <G>.  I was looking at that
earlier today.  Since I model 1944, I want the older style power reverse,
without the small air-tank (i think) on the back.  Looking at the photos, it
seems like the PRR might have left the USRA power reverse on until after
WWII, but I need to look into this more.  See
