While I find it an interesting piece I feel I must point out that Mr. Kovacs' reproduction doesn't look anything like the original Garlick loco. ??? At least not the one I have photos of that sold at auction earlier this year... Were there more than one?
The loco I have photos of has wheels close together with side rods, a more triangular shape and steps with railing leading up to the cab. Instead I would have to call Mr. Kovac's design a new production piece not a repro of a Garlick.
Jim, another thing if I may...you can delete this post afterwards but not sure how else to contact you. I wanted to know if you know anyone that is making reproduction Voltamp freights. I have managed to acquire a few locos but the cars seem very hard to get hold of and thought repros might be nice for now. If you know of anyone could you let me know.
David...no one is making repro Voltamp freights that I know of currently. Originals come up from time to time but I haven't seen any recently. Send me an email to kk3k (at) yahoo.com and if I hear of any cars I can let you know.

Mr. Kovacs bought the piece. It looks like a pretty accurate repro to me.
I agree. Very nice repro. I have pics of another early loco of similar construction and wonder if it is Garlick too or what?
I'll try to send the pics to Marc.
Oh, and I wonder if there weren't side rods on the original. ??? That would be neat.
Do you know if Mr Kovacs was making reproductions to sell? If so, does anyone know how to contact him?
Yes, Paul Kovacs sells the reproductions. He lives in New Jersey. I can get contact info for him if you need it.
Hi Jim
