I didn't see any attachment on the first post I opened, but I see it now:



That's a great engine and looks pretty close to the Spectrum 2-8-0.

Really nice engine. A workhorse.

A lot of Erie steamers seem to have had their headlights in the center
of the smoke box door while this one had it up top. Anyone know what
went into deciding where to mount the headlight? It seems as if the
lower location might illuminate the tracks better, but the one up top
wouldn't interfere with opening and closing the smoke box door. I guess
those didn't get opened very often, but every time you bend and unbend
an electrical you can introduce a break in a wire.
