mP54 from Con-Cor

I don't know if anyone else has been following Con-Cor's development of the P54 commuter coaches, followed by the mP54 MU "rattlers" in HO, but I sure have!  Those mP54's are models that I badly want in N scale.  I grew up along the NEC, and I really want to include commuter operations on my layout.  I've already told Con-Cor about my interest in an N scale version of both models, and I got the "we'll see how the HO's do" response.  If anyone else is interested in these models, I would strongly encourage you to head over to Con-Cor and let them know!  Thanks!

Con-Cor has ALWAYS been saying that about their proto-stuff. I would not be surprised if you see this in N.

If they do sound, think they have recordings of the whine those things made when they were being wound up?

mP54's would be nice to see, but mostly for the fact the the Electroliner would surely be made first.  ;)

My father actually helped them out with that project, providing drawings and photographs from some of my old copies of the Keystone and Pennsy Journal.  He's always talking about modeling the PRR Octoraro branch with a Bowser G5 and some P54s in HO.  I asked him to ask them about doing an N scale version but they never really answered one way or the other.

If they came out in N I'd waste no time snatching up both red and PC green versions.

When I first read about these I e-mailed them and asked for an N version.  Never heard back from them.

         I would cetrainly buy four or five if they ever do get made. I saw them on several trips back East to visit my dad parents in New York. However we will first get from Con Cor in N the New Haven Comet Streamliner,it was only a three car train (why sell add on coaches?),pretty Cool, and no Electroliner "Wa-a-a-a !" Con Cor still insists (foolishly) that the market for this is not there in N yet all their other passenger trains are in both scales,HO HO HO and Nine M.M. (N). Nate Goodman (Nato).
