Here are some of my NH-related models.  I've been concentrating more on the business in recent months, but hope to get back to some modeling later this year.

New Haven "Keystone State"


New Haven RPO 3263


New Haven 12-1 "Anotok"


New Haven mail storage 3603


And foreign equipment that appears regularly in NH consists:

Pennsy B60 baggage 9021


Pennsy 10-6 "Huron Rapids"


Canadian National 10-5 "Chaleur Bay"

Bryan wrote an article about that RR Pennsy 10-6 - I gotta get a hold of that issue one of these days.

It was great to be able to upgrade the Rivarossi car so it would fit in with today's tooling.  But now that Kato has tooled a Pennsy 10-6, it might be possible to find someone willing to part with one of the Broadway cars - unless kitbashing the Rivarossi car is more desirable.  It's definitely more satisfying, that much is certain.

Nice looking cars Bryan.  Here are a few of my PRR specific models.  First up a brass NJ International R50.  Need to strip and repaint/decal.  However these cars were quite filthy in service so maybe I'll just decal and dirty up more.



Oriental Limited brass 1938 Broadway Limited cars.  Need to repaint and decal.






Cars with Union Station sides. 






I replaced the above cars with micro trains trucks.  Not prototypical but runs better for me.

Last but not least, one of several Hellgate B60's.  Have both messenger and non-messenger models.


Using the above plus Kato and IM, RC, WOT and older Riverrossi/Atlas, I can almost recreate most PRR passenger or mail/express trains

Union Station Products makes the sides for that car.  Think the PRR only had 2 or 3 of that type used in Florida trains and at one time had the purple SCL on the numberboards.

It's very similar to the P-S 7481 plan that the WM had as a business car. It's close no cigar.

Send them an e-mail and tell them what your looking for.  They actually did a side for me and it's now part of their cateloge.
