Thanks Hank, yeah I did notice that too, but she(955) fell into the category of C-41 after the 1924 reorganization, and into the mixing pot of science projects. I wonder if the D&S would consider making 498 into oil burning Tank engine, Thomas would have a hey day on the D&S line, having another tank engine to tickle the tracks with. You know I'm just kidding.
