Hi Nathony
I have 2 photos that show the opening in the nose, but I can't tell if the bell's in there or not. I would asume it is, and I don't see it anywhere else. One of the model mags did an article on National Locomotive many years ago. I have it somewhere! There was at least 1 shot of 1800 in it. More likely to be RMC.
Cheers

Here's some photos, of course none of which show the bell. However, in the first picture, you can see that the notch is definitely there.   However, this last photo may mean I'm able to help you:  #1800 was rebuilt and repainted in the same building I work in now... I'll see what I can dig up for you. |

How did you find pictures of this National Locomotive RS-36..  I have tried using Google, I have done searches on the various locomotive roster picture web sites, etc. and I can't find ANYTHING... In fact, the pictures posted in this thread are the only ones I could find... Also - I see a reference to this having been a NKP locomotive at one time -- does anyone know the NKP road number and/or of any links to information to that part of it's history? Thanks in advance - I just want to get the details right on this... |
