Wasn't the Turboencabulator factory located along the Northern Central?

It was over in West York, actually. The tended to move in special moves, which should spice things up a little.

The production models prior to 1962 were all normally aspirated Encabulators. But some were provided with after-market turbos in the late 50s.

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.

I ordered one for sh!ts and giggles.

Great marketing tool, a gateway drug of sorts to their line of industrial details. I don't know if I could use many of the heavy industry bits. However, the electrical substation details appear to be very nice and I could see incorporating a few into scenes on the layout.

That fans looks like a DKS style project waiting to happen.  Not real fast, just wind milling along.
