Cause we're N scalers and Baldwin road switchers are, apparently incompatible with the scale. lol

End cab switches too! It’s VO-1000’s (older) or VO-1000’s (later) or ???  It’s too bad that more of the Stewart/Ajin HO models didn’t make it to N scale. The Atlas/Ajin N scale models owe their existence I’m sure to those, as they are shrunk replicas in every way.

Worst part is they are super super close to alco engines in terms of size. It wouldn’t be hard for atlas to do

I’m really looking forward to the PC and PRR mow equipment.  I may even preorder them.

I can't wait to pose that Catenary trolley wire MOW set under my imaginary wire on the LIRR IS!

If I were the king of the world I'd love to do the Alco C415 in N scale.  I'm eagerly waiting for the Bowser HO to come out which will smooth over my disappointment with Paul Graff for not making one over at Atlas...sigh...:)

Wasn't Briggs going to do a shell for one?  Seems like someone was a couple years ago, but nothing came from it.

Briggs ceased doing new projects a few yrs ago. But that was one of the floated future projects.

The Penn Central MOW Baggage Car 147 44 610 looks tempting.

But why does it say "Jet Engines" above the reporting marks?

Any idea?

Cheers

They did produce them.  I have one.  It hasn't reached front burner status, but it is a nicely done kit.

Maybe it was a support car for the M-497  :)
It turns out you can get black confetti in the shape of d'cks...

Now that Atlas has the Life-Like Alco FA chassis, maybe it's more of a possibility.
