From nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org Fri Jan 22 11:13:32 2010 From: nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org (NW Modeling List) Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 11:13:32 -0500 Subject: Accurate late steam era HO scale N&W freight car models? Message-ID: <0FE9876C19F74D529E882661BBCD642C@bob> This is my first post to the list, and I'm certain this question has been asked before, probably many times. However I have not seen an answer to it online, and as such I'm asking here, since I figure it's unlikely there's a group more knowlegable on the subject. My question is, can anyone give me a list, or even just a few recomendations, of decently prototypically accurate HO scale models of late steam era N&W freight cars, preferably plastic kits, or RTR plastic, though craftsman kits are fine if there's no decent plastic alternative. I want to put togather a couple of N&W freight trains, one general freight, one a coal drag, and I need to know what reasonably priced options there are out there. I know almost nothing about what's available in the way of decently accurate models, asside from the bowser fishbelly 55 ton and the BLI H2a. Any and all information you can give me, be it information on specific models, or a link to somewhere I can find this information, will be greatly appreciated. -Aaron Falis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

They just don't want to make correct N&W hoppers. I still think Lifelike blew it after producing the Y3, and NOT following it up with the HU and Hua hoppers that would have been perfect behind the Y3s. I plan to make parts and mold them and cast about 30-50 HU hoppers to supplement my Athern and Stewart 2 bays, and a few PRR/N&W 4bay jobs. I have a few HP hoppers from Westerfield, and like everybody else, ONE HR. On 1/22/10 4:48 PM, "NW Modeling List" wrote: I would love to find a large source of 55 or 70 ton hoppers.

My question is, can anyone give me a list, or even just a few recomendations, of decently prototypically accurate HO scale models of late steam era N&W freight cars, preferably plastic kits, or RTR plastic, though craftsman kits are fine if there's no decent plastic alternative. I want to put togather a couple of N&W freight trains, one general freight, one a coal drag, and I need to know what reasonably priced options there are out there. I know almost nothing about what's available in the way of decently accurate models, asside from the bowser fishbelly?55 ton?and the BLI H2a. ? Any and all information you can give me, be it information on specific models, or a link to somewhere I can find this information, will be greatly appreciated. ? -Aaron Falis -----Inline Attachment Follows----- ________________________________________ NW-Modeling-List at nwhs.org To change your subscription go to http://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-modeling-list Browse the NW-Modeling-List archives at http://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-modeling-list/ ________________________________________ NW-Modeling-List at nwhs.org To change your subscription go to http://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-modeling-list Browse the NW-Modeling-List archives at http://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-modeling-list/ -----Inline Attachment Follows----- ________________________________________ NW-Modeling-List at nwhs.org To change your subscription go to http://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-modeling-list Browse the NW-Modeling-List archives at http://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-modeling-list/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have started collecting freight cars as well. This is the way I started. Walthers made a wooden 40' box car in the 80s.

Bowser makes the 2 bay fishbelly hopper and last the caboose kit is offered by AMB Laser kits. just thought I'd share my info with you. tony putnam --- On Fri, 1/22/10, NW Modeling List wrote: From: NW Modeling List Subject: Accurate late steam era HO scale N&W freight car models?

Remember one thing when searching for accurate models of N&W hoppers of the steam era. N&W never purchased or owned any 55ton USRA hoppers.
