Taking a Ride on the REAL Reading

Extra set tender marker lights

What's the difference between a GP40-2 and GP39-2? What year did the Reading dieselize? How many tracks were in Rutherford Yard? This board focuses on a discussion of questions or issues concerning the "prototype" Reading Company and its predecessors. While the aim of this board is to serve as a resource for prototype information for modeling purposes, general discussion and sharing of knowledge is also encouraged.

HHS OFFLINE Fireman Posts: 54 Thank you received: 40	Two Bert Pennypacker publications, Reading Steam Pictorial, and Reading Power Pictorial, show the two marker lights on the T1 tenders. They are not a bright color in the b&w photos. The photos are 1955-1956. Other tender photos of other class engines do not show the lanterns, at least in these two books. Hope this helps. HHS
