RIO GRANDE NUTS!!....ME TOO! THE DIVISION POINT IS BUILDING A MODEL THAT I HAVE WANTED TO SEE FOR A LONG TIM….THE L-62 2-6-6-2! THESE CHUNKY LITTLE ENGINES WERE ACTUALLY THE FIRST ARTICULATED'S ON THE "GRANDE", AND WORKED IN PUSHER SERVICE ON TENNESSEE PASS, SOLDIER SUMMIT AND THE MOFFIT TUNNEL LINE WHEN FIRST PURCHASED. WHEN LARGER POWER BUMPED THEM FROM THIS SERVICE, THEY EVENTUALLY MADE THEIR WAY TO THE WESTERN MOST REACHES OF THE SYSTEM AND FINISHED THEIR DAYS IN LOCAL MINE RUN WORK IN HELPER UTAH WHERE THEIR ARTICULATION HELPED THEM SNAKE AROUND THE TIGHT CURVES OF THIS BRANCH LINE SERVICE.
DIVISION POINT WILL CATALOG THESE SMALLISH BRUTES IN THE PRODUCTION SLOT RESERVED FOR THE POSTPONED DM&IR MALLETS....DECEMBER 2002. WE WILL BUILD THESE ENGINES WITH THEIR ORIGINAL TENDERS, AND THE REBUILT LARGER SQUARE TENDER THAT THE FINAL WORKING ENGINES WERE SCRAPPED WITH. ALSO OFFERED WILL BE THE LARGER PILOT MOUNTED SAND BOXES WITH THE "CHEVRON" PAINTED FRONTS, AND BOTH SMOKE BOX MOUNTED AND PILOT MOUNTED HEADLIGHTS. SQUARE OR "SPORT" SLANTED CABS AS PER PROTOTYPE (INCLUDING THE NEAT CAB ROOF VENTILATORS A'LA THE K-36 ON #3300!!!), AND ROAD SWITCHER PILOTS. YOU MAY EXPECT ALL THE REFINEMENTS INCLUDED WITH EVERY DIVISION POINT MODEL, PREISER CREW, GLASS, DIRECTIONAL LIGHTING, FACTORY INSTALLED KAYDEE #58'S, FLAWLESS BOO-RIM FACTORY PAINT, AND A SMOOTH FALHAUBER POWERED DRIVE. "GRANDE" FANS, THESE ARE SURE TO BE A SELLOUT....STAKE YOUR CLAIM AT YOUR FRIENDLY DIVISION POINT DEALER TODAY!
