  1. “What in the world is she talking about???” is what you may be asking yourself upon reading the title of this puzzle. “Wasn’t that the name of a rock band or a fuel additive?” Well, yes. Correct on both accounts. But, they’re also classes of (_ _ _ - _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ ) System ( _ _ _ _ _ _ ) locomotives (and more) that Lionel, Flyer and ( _ _ _) modeled in the pre world war 2 years.
  2. Of the three manufacturers, only (_ _ _ _ ) modeled the P - Class. Or, I should say, a ( _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) “similar to” the NYC P - Motor. But is it?
  3. Start with the (_ _ _ _ _ _ ) description: “Modeled after the ( _ _ _ _ ) 20th Century ( _ _ _ _ _ _ ‘ ) finest.” So, we know we’re looking for a loco that pulled NYC’s top all ( _ _ _ _ _ ), ( _ _ _ _ _ _) train in 1927 when the No. 4687 appeared in Flyerville.
  4. Out of (_ _ _ _ ) Central Terminal, the Century was hauled to Harmon by T - Motors in 1927. The “T’s”, the ( _ _ _ _ ) NYC loco to be classed as such, were built by ( _ _ ) - GE between 1913 and 1926. They had a B - B + B - B wheel arrangement (that’s an 0 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 0 in Whyte’s steam parlance) and ran on ( _ _ _ _) rail 660 volt DC motors on all axles. This suggests the No. 4687 is a T - Motor, not a P - Motor.
  5. But wait, the catalogs also say “modeled after the (_ _ _ _ _ _) New York Central 12 - wheeler.” Looking again at the NYC locomotive roster, only the early T - Class locos had 12 wheels in a 1 - D - 1

  1. “What in the world is she talking about???” is what you may be asking yourself upon reading the title of this puzzle. “Wasn’t that the name of a rock band or a fuel additive?” Well, yes. Correct on both accounts. But, they’re also classes of (NEW - YORK - CENTRAL) System (ELECTRIC) locomotives (and more) that Lionel, Flyer and (IVES) modeled in the pre world war 2 years.
  2. Of the three manufacturers, only (FLYER) modeled the P - Class. Or, I should say, a (LOCOMOTIVE) “similar to” the NYC P - Motor. But is it?
  3. Start with the (CATALOG) description: “Modeled after the (FAMOUS) 20th Century (AMERICA ‘ S) finest.” So, we know we’re looking for a loco that pulled NYC’s top all (PULLMAN), (LIMITED) train in 1927 when the No. 4687 appeared in Flyerville.
  4. Out of (GRAND) Central Terminal, the Century was hauled to Harmon by T - Motors in 1927. The “T’s”, the (SECOND) NYC loco to be classed as such, were built by (ALCO) - GE between 1913 and 1926. They had a B - B + B - B wheel arrangement (that’s an 0 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 0 in Whyte’s steam parlance) and ran on (THIRD) rail 660 volt DC motors on all axles. This suggests the No. 4687 is a T - Motor, not a P - Motor.
  5. But wait, the catalogs also say “modeled after the (LATEST) New York Central 12 - wheeler.” Looking again at the NYC locomotive roster, only the early T - Class locos had 12 wheels in a 1 - D - 1 (2 - 8 - 2) wheel arrangement.
