Yesterday, I noticed that my conductor was wearing a stainless Trainmaster, with a Texas & Pacific decal affixed to the dial. Naturally, I commented, and complimented him on his timepiece choice. As expected, he had bought it many years ago, and had recently started wearing it again.

Just seen this topic pop up and thought I put my 2-cents worth in. I just sent my Trainmaster to Sammie for a COA and some repairs. I picked it up in February in rough condition. Missing its crown and stem.

I think it's the 21J manual wind, but can't say for sure until I get it back. It's gold filled including the back case cover.

Just to add to an old post, I have since been able to acquire one of the 21j Trainmasters with 24 hour dial and stainless steel case, and am wearing it 'as we speak'. EXTREMELY accurate, and a joy to wear.

Another item to take off my bucket list.

Oh, just a side question....these are standard glass crystals on these watches, right?

I know mineral crystals didn't come out until WAY after the Trainmaster left the scene, but one wonders if these crystals were tougher than the standard issue type due to what they were created to be used for.....railroad work.

Let's see a picture of it Mark.
