[PRCo] Re: Experimental trucks (was 1200 models)

[Fred Schneider]

Ooops.   But the 1200s had the garden variety B-2 trucks except for  
the few cars rebuilt as laboratory tests for the B-3 program.

To the best of my knowledge 1225, 1230 and 1278.   Those were the  
ones that Charles Dengler photographed.

Before anyone bothers Ed Lybarger for prints from the Dengler  
negatives, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND HIS.  I borrowed those negatives  
from Bob Brown, who had custody of them for PTM, when I was writing  
the book.   I returned them to Bob.   He was in the process of moving  
from Daylesford back to the Pittsburgh area and he never refiled them  
with the others.   He died.   His widow gave the Dengler files to the  
museum but sold the loose negatives along with Bob's collection.   I  
probably have the only prints from those negatives.
