N&W E2a Re: CF Cabooses

[NW Modeling List]

Thanks Nigel and Kurt for the E2a feedback! 

I'll take a look at both the IHC and Bowser. 

The NWSL brass model would require a new gearbox (it's loud!) plus replacement of the missing left cylinder steam supply pipe. Who knows where that got off to.  

Ah, which project should I take. ..

Hi Matt;

 

The USRA Light Pacific is a bit on the big side to represent a N&W E2, but if you want to go that way, why not us an IHC (Mehano) model, the later ones are great runners with RP25 wheels, and easy to convert to DCC.

 

A closer starting point is the Bowser NYC K11 - which requires a bit of metal cutting.  The K11, like the N&W E2 was made by Alco, and is very close in overall size.

Charlie, I was also looking forward to these cabooses, but I've never bought into the pre-order thing.  So I guess indirectly I, and others like me, bear some responsibility. 

Will that change my behavior?  Probably not.  

I'm still a little perturbed with Broadway as on the back of the CF cancellation, they've recently gone silent on the USRA Light Pacific they'd been dangling (which was to serve as a stand in for an E2).  I hear they make good stuff, but as they keep cancelling everything I want, I may never know!

In the meantime, grab an AMB CF kit - not a built-up, but not hard either. And more importantly, they're actually on the shelves!

For those that didn't understand the message I apologize, it should have said "Can anyone tell me if the N&W cabooses by Precision Craft were produced.  I had 5 on order but Walthers says "sold out" and the place I ordered from told me discountinued.  I would have thought these would have sold well since most talk I have heard seemed that people wanted them.
