I was fortunate to find the "North Woods" set in December 2004. A family in the middle of Wisconsin. Lucky kid -- a rare four-car Ivory-windowed set -- the 414 Illinois car was added as a "separate sale" car to his three-car 409E set since its roof does not match the other three cars (light ventilators). Yet this 414 is a late one with rivet-detailed ends and brass journals. |
