And water bottle? And passenger train?

Well is it N ? At least 2 numbers 844 and 835-843 ? Maybe a greyhound 844 ? I hope it's not that chain of weak links that is the original GS-4 drive line . . One thing I can guarantee is that it will be beautiful looking as is the GS-4 .

And an FL9.   And 8 packs of CN and CP Autoracks.

But seriously what is that photo.  It doesn't look exactly like any part of the FEF, tender or water bottle.

How much work would have to be done on a FEF to make it into a NP Northern?

and Business Train.

They did mention in Roanoke that they are going to also release the UP business train, as they only need to tool a couple of cars to complete the consist.

Now...... 2 F40PHs painted in CSX Bright Future with an all new tooled CSX business train.

Wow.  That would get me stoked.

What is the difference between the NMRA convention and the National Train Show?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the NTS is the Sat/Sun portion that is open to the public while the Convention portion runs a few days prior and includes tours and clinics.

They are "officially" two separate entities tied at the hip. The NMRA National Conventions are almost always the week prior, Sunday night through, technically, Sunday and the NTS is always the last weekend of it,
