Note that this one has drive rods, not sure of significance, might be part of sets with Harvard/Yale cars? Bottom view of 1100 showing motor.
Locomotive No 1102 was just an 1100 from 1913. The 1100 locomotive came in set 1102 from 1912 to 1913, some of these show up with the 1102 number on the plate, We date this number to 1913 because of the tender. All examples of this locomotive with this number have come with the No. 1 or No. 11 tender that we believe was new in 1913. In 30 years I've only seen three of these, pictured above and below are two of them. Two came with the No. 1 tender, the one below with a No. 11 tender. |
