Columbia 2-4-2 loco historic paint versions ?

[norman]

Dear Mr. Bachmann and Loco Bill:

In addition to:

White Pass & Yukon Railroad

Union Pacific

Were there any other roadnames for the woodburner version of the 2-4-2 Columbia loco ( predecessor to the Indy ) ?

Would you please quote the product number with the roadname?

Is the axle spacing of the saddle tank porter the same as the 2-4-2 Columbia such that the drive and metal side rods could be used to upgrade the 2-4-2 Columbia loco?

What is the diameter of the saddle tank smaller drivers ?

I am hoping that the Green DRGW J&S coaches will be made available this year.


Thank you,

Norman

Hi Norman,

Here is what I have:

91101   UP   19   1989   ~ Loco   2-4-2, with tender, Union Pacific   P      wood burner
91114   PRR   3   1989   ~ Loco   2-4-2, with tender, PRR   P                 coal load
91119   WP&Y   9   1992   ~ Loco   2-4-2,  with tender White Pass & Yukon      wood burner
91170   None   None   1998   ~ Loco   2-4-2, with tender painted  undec   P      coal load

In 1998 the PRR WP&Y and Undec got an all new drive train and metal wheels on the tenders.   
This is all I have and I don't have a saddle tank so can't help there.

Thanks Bill !

Do you know what is the driver diameter?

Same driver diameter for the 2-4-2 and the new 2-6-0 versions.

Sorry Norman, I no longer have a Columbia.   Maybe someone else will chime in with some help.

Hi Norman:

The 2-4-2 and 2-6-0 Indy drivers are 1.6" in dia. spaced 2 3/16" apart. The 0-4-0 porter's drivers are 1.365" in diameter and 2 11/16" apart.
