Wabash - How do you model it?

I had a customer stop in the shop today interested in modeling Wabash. I didn't think much of it and started looking to see what has been produced. I found out pretty much nothing has been released in for power. Atlas has done Trainmasters and a run of U25's. IM has a run of F units on the way if they don't cancle them. Other than that nothing.

Wabash had GP7's, GP9's, GP35's, VO1000's, SW8's, NW-2's to name a few loco's that are currently or recently produced.

I'm not even interested in Wabash but it is amazing how little has been produced, especially for a road that went through St. Louis, Chicago and Detroit.

I think Atlas has decorated GP7 shells.

I searched Atlas GP7/9 and GP35 previous releases back to 2001 with no luck.

I thought I just looked a few days ago and they had the decorated shells.  Maybe I'm mistaken.  I would be great if I could look right now.  :P

They also had running rights through Ontario to Buffalo.

PRR leased lots of Wasash units over the years.

Intermountain has F7s on the way.

There are lots of Wabash freight cars available.

Microscale has decals for 1960s Wabash, but discontinued their set for blue & gray cabs & hoods.

Con-Cor has done passenger cars in solid blue and blue+silver.

Wheels of Time has done a baggage car in blue.

Life-Like did Ann Arbor FA1s in blue + Gray, and Atlas did an Ann Arbor RS1

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

If I recall I think Mike spotted a paint error on the yet to be delivered Wabash F units - I hope they corrected it before commiting to the run.

Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

Almost as difficult as N&W ...

Hope that IM doesn't cancel the WAB F7s  - Wabash (then N&W) had over a hundred of them.
