Re: Aster Allegheny
OK Clark, Re Allegheny--Thanks, we are on course! Phil Paskos sends his check on April 1. (Could you make it April 2 Phil??) and knowing Phil, it will probably be a very, VERY large one. It should also cover the expenses you mention and Bob's expenses plus maintenance of his portable track. Gotta go, gotta open a special account for Phil's check.

Re: Aster Allegheny
Yo Geoff; My check will be on the way on April 1st. Phil.P.Reading,PA. Joe, re Allegheny, I don't quite recall, but I believe I offered to accept funds and take delivery for a three months test and evaluation and then I would send it to Clark Lord for his three to six months repair and evaluation. Interested parties should send their contributions to the following address: Kantfindmie House 2 Slipaway ST, Neverneverton, Nevada. 20001-1/2 Partners will receive the loco for tests after sufficient funds for the purchase have been received. Delivery will be made to partners in the order that their checks are received. So HURRY! Honest Geoff.

Absolutely. I would work diligently to become an expert on coal firing. That might take some time to sort it all out. I could put on traveling exhibitions at the various meets. I, of course, would have to be compensated for travel and lodging expenses out of the general maintenance fund provided for during the initial purchase. I might have to travel to Canada and visit Dan Pantages so he could coach me on how to run a big engine on his friends layout. Clark

Aster Allegheny
Fellow Steamers: In looking through the archives, I am curious about the "rest of the story" re the Allegheny Investment Club. As a lawyer, it was amusing to see what could have been, might still or may be the first custody schedule ever for a 1:32 live steam locomotive. That's a lot of money although I am sure that it is worth it. -- Regards, Joe Betsko Pennsylvania USA Bala Cynwyd Railway: http://jsb.pennsy.home.att.net Primer for Novice Live Steamers: http://www.gardensteamers.com/tips.html Share Live Steaming Tips: http://www.gardensteamers.com/exchange.html iMac - Hey, I dont do windows!
Re: Aster Allegheny
Hi, I presume we are talking about the H8. Although there is some controversy about it, I recall reading about C&O suing the builder because the last run of H8's were over weight and over size. The result being that the H8 is a little longer, higher, and heavier than the Big Boy! Most cocktail RR books claim the Big Boy as the largest locomotive ever built. I'm the custodian of a gauge 1 Allegheny H8 marketed by Fine Arts Models in Michigan. It is a sparkie, but it is really a good looking loco on the SWAMP trackage. Yes, it will traverse the reverse curve that has no lead-in or easement. Another Fine Arts Model in my keeping is the working model of the PRR 369000# wreck crane. Both hooks operate independently, Boom raises & lowers, self propelled, whistle and bell on command. Both are pure eye candy if you like fine detail in 1:32 models and can overlook the electric power aspect. Keep your steam up! Walt & Lunk
Re: Aster Allegheny
There is also an Allegheny at the Henry Ford Museum in Greenfield
Village near Detroit, as I recall. And, don't forget the fine book on
the subject published by the "Mainline Modeler" folks ("Allegheny:
Lima's Finest" I believe is the title). Charles
