Ralph,

Great post and thanks! Hold your head high too, there isn't anything to 
be ashamed of modeling the Lehigh Valley. Except for the LV having some 
of the homeliest looking steam locomotives, it was otherwise uniquely 
interesting railroad. Ok, so what color was Cornell Red really? Just joking!

Thanks for the clarification, now that you mention it, I do recall the 
Wathlers float bridge was of a Reading prototype which is why I kind of 
scratched my head at the time. Why pick one from the Delaware River? 
Also, what I couldn't recall was TAMS. Unfortunately while everyone else 
  in the Harbor was going with the TAMS design, as you say the 
Lackawanna did not when it purchased its diesel tugs in 1957 which were 
built to the Consolidation design. Sign. :(

Anyway, thanks for the great post Ralph and oh, I've seen Jay's float 
bridge and it is a beauty.

Regards,

Will Shultz
