Thanks for posting this, John. I've seen the Lionel version from the thirties, but never saw pictures of the real thing in operation. Where is it being restored in New Hampshire, and did it ever travel there, or just between Boston and Portland?
I wish USA Trains or Aristo-Craft would come out with a G Scale version. But I doubt the market would be big enough to justify the development - unless of course they looked at it as one version of the whole Zephyr class that was so popular in the 30-40's. Oh well, it's nice to dream about it...
