In 1946, the C&O took five of its Class F-19 Pacific 4-6-2 locomotives and converted them into Class L-1 Hudsons. This rework was done in the Huntington Shops and was completed in 1947. All but one of the new L-1s were covered with a streamlined stainless steel cowl which was painted yellow and silver. The tenders were cased in fluted stainless steel and tapered at the top so they would blend exactly with the new Budd passenger cars. The "yellowbellies" as they were called by C&O crews were numbered 490 through 494 (number 494 did not have a cowl applied). Only engine 490 survives today and is on display at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, MD.

Walthers 933-2860 Motorized 90' Turntable -- Assembled - 13-3/4" 34.9cm Overall Diameter HO Scale    

Assembled - 13-3/4" 34.9cm Overall Diameter

Sure to be the focal point of any HO Scale engine terminal, this Walthers Cornerstone 90' Motorized Turntable is where steam locomotives, and later diesels, were turned around at the end of their runs. Normally serving a roundhouse, most smaller turntables were placed adjoining the roundhouse and servicing tracks. This 90' turntable is large enough to turn typical locomotives as large as a 2-8-2 Mikado or 4-6-2 Pacific. It'll look great at smaller terminals, at junctions and anywhere else steam locomotives must be turned. On your layout use the 90' Motorized Turntable as the heart of your servicing facility alongside other HO railroad maintenance buildings.
