I have a pastel drawing of what I think is LV 2915, at least that is the number on the engine. My mother’s uncle, Wayne Howland, did a number of such drawings and some appeared as covers for railroad trade magazines back in the day and this is one of his original works. Anyone have information on this particular engine?
Hi Matt, I looked in my rosters and could not find a 2915. My numbers go from 2734 to 3000. There’s a 2015 (4-6-2), 2115 (4-6-2), 2415 (4-4-2), and 2615 (4-4-0). Pretty sure of the number and that it’s LVRR? Let me know. Joe-
Hello,
Sorry. I didn’t know there was a note for me. I am a collector of Spencer items and have promised when I obtain them that they will stay in Spencer. I hope you understand. You may take copies of them though.
Have a great day,
Bob
PS. I do have a photo Post Card of the DeRuyter station on E:bay.
The photo LV 0227 was taken at the Summit Station (North Spencer). I quickly recognized it. I too have this original. I do have two other photos taken of the station before it was called North
Spencer. Would you like copies of these? I also hAve photos of the original depot in
Spencer before the fire of 1900.

John W Rendle writes: I wonder if any of you have noticed that this is the rumored 3rd John Wilkes engine. Notice the boxpok drivers, single USRA type sand dome (all the k5 and k5 1/2 class had the twin \\"Mae West\\" sand domes), light weight running gear and the air pump which has been moved to the pilot. I believe the idea was to have this engine ready to accept the streamlining of 2101 or 2102 while they were in for their 5 year inspections. I invite any discussion or correction of this observation.

Mr. Snyder,
You never answered my note about donating those items you had to our railroad club at Martisco.
