Hi Marty, Thanks for remembering that discussion. The "embedded" application of the Coffin heater usually required a lengthened smokebox, as on the CV 4-8-2s ...
According to DVP's website, they came in and left as of 9/30. 1 picture of each model's fireman's side is up on the T3 page at DVP's website. Now we just need...
