Hello all
One of Frank Ellison's passenger trains from Delta Lines is running again !
Passenger cars found still wrapped up in 1962 New Orleans newspaper ....helping to date when Doctor Sachs purchased and moved Delta Lines to Boston.
Engine Hines Mikado introduced late 1946 ,one of two Hines Mikados used on the layout .
Cars are mixed from probably 3 complete trains ...2 JC baggage cars with decals , JC baggage & combine hand lettered, and two Alexander cast aluminum sided cars . Pullman hand lettered " Lady Nell" named for Frank Ellison's wife Nellie.
Cars date late 30's - early 40's.
