I had a nice little natter today at the NMRABR show, felt strange to be that side of the trade table
I picked up a few bits and pieces, some nice niche interest books, a bundle of decals, mostly tank cars, which if I opt for a industrial layout will form a larger portion of the stock; however, after today, it's not a given the bat cave layout will even be O gauge, it's a big space for a N gauge Donner/Cajon pass type layout.
Stock wise, I added another RC GP9 kit to the stash and picked up some more Import brass which was a bit of a mix and match and only one item in it's original box.
I'm fairly confident the steamer is a PSC T-28, there's no makers label and no original box, separately it came with a Division Point 90-R-1 tender, which is in it's original box and has a etched label underneath.
The other item was a SP tender minus a truck, again no markings but painted and lettered, not factory as some of it is wonky, highly unlikely it's factory applied, there is a brass label underneath but whoever painted this covered it with black paint and it's not an etched label but screen printed, what ever was written there is long gone.
It's been marked up for a SP C class and from a bit of sleuthing should be a 100-C-x (x = could be 1,2,3 batch and I've not defined which one) and both PSC T class offerings (T-28 & T-31) ship with a 100-C tender.
My hunch is that this tender should be matched to the engine, it makes no odds because both tenders ran with both classes.
Either way, the engine will have a tender and I have the other as spare to go with the 3rd Rail UP 90C tender. I need to now try and track down a spare PSC 120-C tender truck, reasonably confident they do them as spares or in kit form and tender trucks come frequently on Ebay now and again, it'll probably need a strip down as the lettering not being straight niggles me.
