CF caboose, H2a 3-bay hopper in N-Scale

[NW Modeling List]

To coin a phrase, When it rains, it pours. This March has certainly 
favored N&W steam-era N-Scale modelers.

AT LAST, N&W's _CF caboose_ (wood side) is available, coming out as a 
laser-cut kit, American Model Builders' item AMB 552.  To view, go to 
Brooklyn Locomotive Works (www.buynscale.com). Under "new update log", 
click Laser Kit, 26 March.

On the same screen scroll down to 8 March, announcing Broadway Limited's 
N&W _H2a 3-bay hopper_, a long-awaited production, available in both 17" 
and 24" "N&W" car sides lettering (the latter for stenciling when cars 
were shopped / built 21 October 1952 through 1956.)

The CF is sold as a single item, whereas the H2a is available in 6-packs 
only.

I do not have the models in hand, but photos in the above references 
appear to show accurate work.

To my knowledge, these are the first commercially-produced models of the 
two cars.

If the Modeling Committee was involved in the birthing of these models, 
take a bow!
