SCOUT SALUTE! PART 3

  1. In part one we looked at (_ _ _ _ _ ) 2-4-2’s, and part two examined the ( _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ) that actually came with “( _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ )” 1001T or 6001T tenders. Not including minor variations, the “true scouts” of 1948 to 1952 account for eight ( _ _ _ _ _ _ ). But most of us apply the term “( _ _ _ )” to a lot of locos and ( _ _ ) that were made after Lionel dropped the special ( _ _ _ _ _ _).
  2. Most of these locos wore basic (_ _ _ _ ) with few ( _ _ ) pieces or embellishments. But the No. 2034 was closer to ( - _ _ _ _ ) standards than most O - 27 scouts. A ( _ _ _ ) motor with a three position ( - _ _ _ ) oriented lever ( _ _ _) and an operating headlight make it one of the more desirable die - cast 2-4-2’s operationally speaking.
  3. And now we’re up to the loco that has all the features (or lack thereof) that most directly influenced the 200 (_ _ _ _ _ _) Columbias many of us got started with; the No. 1130.

SCOUT SALUTE! PART 3

  1. In part one we looked at (PREWAR) 2-4-2’s, and part two examined the (LOCOMOTIVES) that actually came with “(LIONEL - SCOUT)” 1001T or 6001T tenders. Not including minor variations, the “true scouts” of 1948 to 1952 account for eight (STEAMERS). But most of us apply the term “(SCOUT)” to a lot of locos and (CARS) that were made after Lionel dropped the special (COUPLER).
  2. Most of these locos wore basic (BLACK) with few (TRIM) pieces or embellishments. But the No. 2034 was closer to (O - GAUGE) standards than most O - 27 scouts. A (METAL) motor with a three position (E - UNIT) oriented lever (DOWN) and an operating headlight make it one of the more desirable die - cast 2-4-2’s operationally speaking.
  3. And now we’re up to the loco that has all the features (or lack thereof) that most directly influenced the 200 (SERIES) Columbias many of us got started with; the No. 1130.
  4. Based on the 2034, which can trace it’s lineage to prewar (LOCOS), the (PLASTIC) bodied, metal motored, lever down No. 1130 came first with a No. 6066T “(SQUARE)” tender and later the 1130T small (STREAMLINED) model.
  5. So, why do the 200 series 2-4-2’s have such a bad rep? It’s the plastic motor with an integral (REVERSE) mechanism that causes all the headaches. You have to remove the shell, the (RODS), the pilot & (TRAILING) trucks, them pull the (DRIVERS) before you can open the motor casing. True, this is standard with just about every (POSTWAR) steamer, but you
