>Chances of someone actually need a type 6 pre-lateral frog for a #36 may be pretty slim, but I imagine if you have been looking for one they might be pretty hard to find. This would have been made between 1874-1884. It would be interesting to keep an eye on that and see where it ends up at ;)

>I went and looked at a properly assembled 36 (actually a 35) on Patrick's Blood and Gore. I cannot figure out how the eBay seller got it together like that! What is that bolt attached to that seems to be holding the frog down?

I think I am going to start saving these pictures... ;-)
