NW-Modeling-List Digest, Vol 129, Issue 16

Kert:
 
As I recall, I just compared photos of N&W GPs against DA stuff I had  in 
my "loco parts" drawer until I found what looked right.  Here's a page  from 
a search on walthers.com that I just did, have fun!

Dave,


Thanks for the information. I did remember changing out  the air horns, but 
not the MU receptacles. Would you happen to have the Detail  Associates 
part number for the correct MU receptacles? It's never to late to  correct a 
model :-)

Kert and Carl:

I have both of  those; I'd have to check (they're currently packed away),
but I think I  had to change out the air horns to a correct version, and for
sure  I had to add MU receptacles (Detail Associates had what I  needed).
Otherwise they lined up pretty well with photos.

Carl,


A decade or so ago, Proto2000 put out a  Phase II GP9 in  the original steam
era paint scheme for N&W.  The two road numbers were 710  and 713
(renumbered from their  original numbers of 10 & 13). I installed  
SoundTraxx sound  in
them and have enjoyed running them since. So, if you can  find  any of 
those,
you will have some decent N&W freight GP9  locomotives.

So what are we supposed to do  for the  plain old freight HO GP9's?  Even at
the time of the  merger, there  were more GP9's on the roster than any other
model.  No diesel based  layout is complete without  them.



Athearn has a Phase III  undec scheduled for later  in the year.  Is this 
our
best  option?
