Mr. Muffin,
You bought one at York---When do we get to see it...Pictures, Videos!

We took it over to the storage locker tonight - waiting to get the new layout to the point we can take pictures and run trains!
jake,
How would I know if the Williams J I'm looking at is scale or the 746 postwar? I know nothing about postwar trains.
The "crown edition" scale locomotive is made of brass and gigantic compared to the postwar style, which is die cast. The scale tender alone is approximately the length of the postwar locomotive.
The scale locomotive is limited to 0-72 or larger track, whereas the postwar style locomotive will navigate traditional 0-31.
The scale locomotive shares a drivetrain with the Williams "crown edition" 4-8-4 Niagara and Daylight, resulting in wheels that are too large for a "J".
The 8100 is a fine representation of the restored 611 but, unless I'm mistaken, the original J's did not have the "shiny" black paint when they were in service in the '40s and '50s.
FYI, I saw a Williams Brass Scale J at West Virginia Hobby & Craft in Scott Depot, (Teays Valley) WV this afternoon for $350.00.

And assuming you left it where you found it, you deserve a big pat on the back. I know how much you love those Js!

It was still there when I left yesterday. I have to have command control and I already have a #611.

I don't know why but I thought you were talking about the one at VMT
I could see driving by his house and seeing the one Chris and Big Jim posted pictures of in the back yard.
Least he'd never have to worry about getting that one past the wife and into the house.
