Tritty was a resident of Emmaus and I think a founding member of the East Penn Model railroad club which I was a president before our merger and move to Coopersburg. ( now Coopersburg Area Society of model engineers )CASME. He also ran on the Perk local in the late 60's and early 70's. I have some pics of him dressed as Santa riding on the side of motive power through Emmaus on the main line. Brings back memories.

Turboboost910 OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 250 Thank you received: 17	hmmm. Was 9100 modified after being built 1953? My pictures in the book show that there is no lower sill, only a flat panel of steel. The pictures are from 1971 so maybe it has been shopped. This is info I need to find out of thats the case!
