FM sRe: Early N & W diesels in HO DCC

[NW Modeling List]

The first Fairbanks-Morse diesels on the N&W were from the Virginian merger in 1959 (H24-66 and H16-44).  There were also some F-M diesels in the '64 merger (H24-66, H20-44, H16-44, H15-44, H12-44 and H10-44). 



A VGN unit with a number on the cab side is a post merger unit.  VGN put numbers only in the number boards of thier F-M diesels.

Where do the Trainmasters fit in?   1959 and later with the merger with VGN?

The earliest N&W diesels were Alco RS3 phIII units and EMD GP9 phII units.  Later came the Alco RS11, EMD GP9 ph III and EMD GP18 units. 

For RS3 phIII; the only choice is Stewart (now Bowser) 's flat kit.  It can be adapted to the Atlas/Kato RS3 chassis.

For the GP9 and GP18; Proto 2000, and many years ago FRP.  Cary had a metal shell. 

Regarding the passenger units, they were GP9 phII and phIII with numerous modifications, especially noticeable is the large fuel/water tank, which is basically the same as a GP20 tank.  Except in brass, there have been no models. 

In addition, the N&W did have some E units on short term lease from neighboring roads.  The Society offered custom painted Proto 2000 models of these many years ago.  They occasionally show up on eBay.

Hi 

Many thanks to all who helped out with the Kadee  couplings; I have fitted some #505's and am very pleased with the  result. 

Can you please advise who makes (made) good DCC HO models of  the earliest diesels used on the N & W RR, both passenger and  freight. 

Thanks

For a direct replacement, try McHenry #52 for 4-wheel  trucks or #53 for 6-wheel trucks.

Hi 

I have bought a couple of IHC baggage cars.   Could you please tell me the correct Kaydee coupling No to fit as a  replacement? 

Many Thanks
