Re: (erielack) Tangent PS4740 in EL? (was: SD45M modeling)

Tangent now sells to selected Hobby Shops. Happy Hobo Trains in Tampa  
has them in stock and Kevin can be reached @813 886 5072.  The  
Illinois Central ones are particularly cool , since a string of those  
derailed in Transfer PA where the 12t and 2nd sub divisions split.  
This was probably in 1974 timeframe. The spilled grain could be  
smelled evey summer for a number of years after that mishap. Mark
