This board is the place where questions and information specific to MODELING the Reading Company, its equipment and operations can be shared - questions like "What was the window arrangement of AF Tower in Alburtis?" and "What color paint do YOU use to paint the Reading's cream-and-brown buildings?" We also want to hear about YOUR Reading modeling projects!

Here's the good side; the decals on the tender are screwed up on the other side. Someone put a can motor in it, I can see "Japan" on it looking in the cab. But for the most part it's original.
It was a lucky find at a train show, I paid more for it than I ordinarily might have - I flip a lot of this vintage stuff - but this came right home to keep because they're so rare, I figured I'd never find another one this nice.
