Steam & Excursion > Hancock H-N-L InspiratorsDate: 05/19/19 03:49 Hancock H-N-L Inspirators Author: fltenwheeler I am looking for preserved Hancock H-N-L Inspirators.
The K-28 and K-36's all have K-N-L's I think there is one on Chicago North Western 444 at the Forney Transportation Museum. I need detailed photos and dimensions so I can build one for a 1.6 scale model I am working on. Thanks Tim Meyer  Date: 05/19/19 10:01 Re: Hancock H-N-L Inspirators Author: Earlk I believe the Hancocks on the D&RGW narrow gauge are al H-N-L. The reason I say this is as I stared at them every day for 20 years and always thought HNL stood for "Hancock Non LIfting".
At any rate they look identical to the one in your pick. Your pick is bit interesting in that two steam lines into the top of the body are wrapped together with pipe-wrap. Nevada Northern 81 had Hancock HNL's on it. Date: 05/19/19 10:10 Re: Hancock H-N-L Inspirators Author: fltenwheeler Thanks for the information.
