hmm, one of these for my small modern collection:


I still have the president of W&W's business card from my visit there years ago. What a nice guy he was ...

And I'll order one of these to see if they get the lettering close to correct:



I'll get the other two N&W #s if they get it right.

Then maybe the L&N, and maybe ... :P

$19.98 ea. MSRP

For all the Conrail and Erie Lackawanna guys out there, these look a lot like a CR class CE12A.  There are two nice examples in the CR Color Guide on page 106.  The EL number series was 21300-21349.  According to the book, these were built by PS and not clones.  They would make a nice addition to the fleet.  Thanks.

I just looked at N Scale Supply, and these cars are announced on their web site.  Thanks.

How much of a difference is there between this car and the recently released Atlas car?  Atlas is doing a WM version that will be finding a home on my layout...  Better consult the Gospel according to Jack Brown... (the WM Rolling Stock Color Guide)... 
I wish I had room on my layout for Union Bridge and the Lehigh plant there...

They are noticeably taller - these are very distinctive looking cars...

Did any of the BN family roads have these? Milwuakee Road? Been going thru my books but haven't seen any yet.
