[NW Modeling List]

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.


Cheers,

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?
