Can anyone contribute some knowledge about the real prototype engine as well as the somewhat rare United/PFM brass model ??

I have one and love the looks of it. Mine runs like a charm, but I've heard tell of some problems with the gearing in some of them??

Found some information on this forum that should help >>> http://www.modelrailroadforums.com/forum/showthread.php?p=123638

The flexible coupling seems to be the biggest problem with them, NWSL might have a fix though, they're usually pretty good about those things.

Are there any drawings out there of the larger (above 50T) vulcan duplexes?
how about drawings of a Kitson Meyer 2-6+6-2 ( build # 5400)

That model is BRILLIANT! Never seen anything like it. Does anybody know how much do they run for, if you find one? If you can find one. That is BRILLIANT! -

Well that is a brass engine so it can vary from 200-800 dollars depending on its condition and which company made it.
