Dear Art,
Thank you very much for your kindness.

I will phone them tomorrow & see if they have received your letter - if that
is OK with you.
But never be surprised as to how long 'air-mail' takes - sometimes up to
17days from England to the US.

Hello Art ,
I don't have a facsimile and what is more, I can speak English just a

Jun,
Why don't you fax Walsall on the number I mailed on 25 /5/00 ?
They are a pretty responsive firm & take credit cards.

Neither Walsall nor Locosteam are on e-mail.
However Walsall do take credit card orders & may therefore be easier to deal

I never saw a T-1 in operation, but I am the proud owner of one of the
fantastic six chime steam whistles that the Reading used on the T-1's. With a
good balanced valve and a good head of steam, that whistle will bring tears
to the eyes of most RR fans. I did have a chance to put the whistle on
Is there an alternate way of contacting them? Overseas

The old Reading Railroad added roller bearings to a few of the T-1's, but
they were a minority. The Reading T-1 was a Northern configuration. 4-8-4.

If you can find a racing R/C shop they keep these for rebuilding/upgrading
racing cars.

Walsall in the UK (ring 011-44-922-33781) will provide ready machined wheels of
various diameters and
they have a square broached center for easy quartering on their axles. I have used
them and they are very
well done.
