Marker, Your photo of the two units above one seems lacking a headlight? Any better angle?

Speaking of Pecos River Brass, I picked up a PRB CF7 built by Goldrich Models dirt cheap on eBay and holy cow, it is one of my better running locomotives right out of the box!! Pittman motor, PSC gear tower and PSC gearboxes. Unit runs slow and smooth and very quiet. I noticed they mounted the gear tower and the motor on rubber washers. I have 3 SW1's by PSC and they use the identical transfer tower and gearboxes and they are pretty noisy at speed. Will try the rubber washers instead of the fiber strips they used.
I have handled the CF7, taken it apart and put it back together and nothing has fallen off or broken.
I know his locomotives have a poor reputation, but you couldn't prove it by me.

Does someone have a mailing address for the ATSF Historical Society? I have 15 or 20 B&W photos that I took of steam power in the Argentine dead line in 1952 that I would like to contribute.

Here is their website: http://www.atsfrr.com
Wes;
The mailing address is: Raymond D Woods, 1205 S. Air Depot #101, Midwest City, OK 73110-4807. He can put you in contact with someone who would be happy, I suspect, to help. The Society has a couple of holdings/museums. Also, the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka has an extensive Santa Fe collection.

Erik, very clever! You must have shot that with your Kodak Brownie.
I've taken enough of those pictures.
Marker and Allen:
Thank you for the information. When I tried to access the historical society web site, my antivirus program blocked me. I hope it is not really infected.
I will be contacting Mr. Woods.

You guys do know that John had a few, NOS, 3-rail models still in stock, don't you??? I am not sure which of the steam engines he still had, but you might want to contact him if you are interested.
Jeff
How do I contact him?

I may have mentioned this earlier in this thread,sorry if it's a repeat. I do have a PRB Santa Fe Hudson that I would sell. It has TMCC and EOB. It is mint. Let me know if there is any interest out there.
