TOPIC: "We couple carefully---"

"We couple carefully---" 10 years 11 months ago #1362

Rob OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 393 Thank you received: 57	BTW, the article has photos of 2707, 85 and 1506 with 727 on the cover. It also mentions that #2703 was in the August 1962 issue of Trains magazine as a news photo announcing the slogan. Rob

Thanks for the list from the Bee Line. I don't have access to the Bee Line so that is a very big help. If the slogan was mentioned in Aug 62 issue of trains it would indicate that mid 1962 is a good start date and should be good for at least a few years after that. As my layout is based in the years before the GP30s were delivered ( I still have FTs ) it looks like I won't need to add the decals.
