Hi List Members, I find I get a higher resolution copy of the image if I use the link below... https://silentlocations.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/11-go-west-hardy.jpg Claus Schlund

Looks like a stock car with overhead bins for silage. Thanks! Brian Ehni (Sent from my iPhone)

I have some of this type as well. I don’t like them as they don’t tighten well. Thanks! Brian Ehni (Sent from my iPhone)

Ah, yes - those are the ones chuckable in something larger, like a sensitive press... I had one in my hands once, in a friend's shop[0], while I was working on the chassis of a 3.5" gauge TICH. [0]

I havr several of these. I'm not sure if it is the same manufacturer. I don't use them as I seem to have a degree of difficulty tightening down on the drill. Maybe it's because as my wife says

Schuyler, Try these sites for Bergeon # 30432 https://www.esslinger.com/bergeon-30432-watchmakers-sliding-ring-pin-vise-tool/

Here is the Starrett Catalog page... with all their pin vise sizes and model numbers. One document online shows the 166A design dates from at least 1938... No wonder we find them in our fathers' /

I don’t think $21.00 or so is outrageous for a quality tool you’ll use for many years. Thanks! -- Brian Ehni From: <main@RealSTMFC.groups.io> on behalf of Allen Cain

Ed Hawkins has assured me the factory paint was black ends & roof -- and here is a 1953 shot that shows a C&O PS-1 with black ends and black roof! So I guess I am convinced now.

It would be helpful if you explained which vise is “that same.” Schuyler

In 1930 radio was just getting popular, and the sets from Majestic were mostly the large "high-boy" (consoles), and even the table tops were large and shipped in wood crates, but still, that is a lot

Regarding “smoke” I've attached 18917 but it's probably a repaint - the "smoke" on the repaints was simplified compared to the original design which had "wavy" smoke. Right, C&O

I have that same MicroMart pin vice. It “ain’t zactly” a precision instrument. Go to Amazon! Bill Jolitz

Claus; We were holding a side discussion on this, and absolutely believe trucks were taken as war booty for use in the U.S. post-WW1. Cheap way of obtaining HD trucks! Elden Gatwood

Mike You did notice that the MODEL and the PROTOTYPE have the same number right - 18499? You have a picture of 18712? I've attached 18917 but
