Ralph, Great post and thanks! Hold your head high too, there isn't anything to be ashamed of modeling the Lehigh Valley. Except for the LV having some of the homeliest looking steam locomotives, it was otherwise uniquely interesting railroad. Ok, so what color was Cornell Red really? Just joking! Thanks for the clarification, now that you mention it, I do recall the Wathlers float bridge was of a Reading prototype which is why I kind of scratched my head at the time. Why pick one from the Delaware River? Also, what I couldn't recall was TAMS. Unfortunately while everyone else in the Harbor was going with the TAMS design, as you say the Lackawanna did not when it purchased its diesel tugs in 1957 which were built to the Consolidation design. Sign. :( Anyway, thanks for the great post Ralph and oh, I've seen Jay's float bridge and it is a beauty.
