No quite on the B60's Dave.  The Pennsy doors only had 2 windows per door.  Some of the other early baggage and mail/baggage door had 4 windows and some had 3.  Otherwise the cars and trucks are identical.

Are those Pennsy 2D-P5 trucks on N&W 11?

I believe so. N&W raided Pennsy's specs where it made sense for them...

That would mean a pair of etched brass sides, a pair of American Limited trucks and some Kato detail parts could be used to bash the MTL car into an accurate rendition.

OK, makes sense.  I did remember reading and seeing photos indicating the portholes where not original.  Either way, the Hell Gate Models B60 makes a good starting kit for an N&W bash.

Speaking of Hell Gate Models, does anyone know if their products are still available? They don't seem to have an active website any longer.

David..

Last I saw on other groups Christoph and Doug have plans to do another run but not any time soon.

They basicaly stated that if and when the site comes back online they will be available again.

We do re tool, more often than most folks realize.  Just finished new sides on an old favorite that I should be able to announce in a few months.  (don't ask)

Ooh, I won't ask, but I will guess --- new door and side sill options on the "old school" 40-foot PS-1?

I have a lot of the conversions mapped out, new tooling keeps getting in the way ;D  Would love to do an 8' and 10' door for those...new lower sills as well.

I'll keep wiggling my nose.

I have 2 pretty lengthy articles on Erie RPOs from the ELHS. The RPOs I'm interested in are longer and have a baggage door off to one side. So I'll make MT a deal  :)  Make this baggage car:

I will buy 3-4 of em and 1 of your RPOs and bash a long RPO out of it.

Deal?
