Model Reviews; VGN AG etc.

[NW Modeling List]

At least the AG has the right number of wheels, which is more than can be 
said of the MTH VGN Triplex!  I asked the MTH staff at last year's NMRA 
Convention why they did not put the four wheel trailing truck on the model. 
As anticipated, the answer was that they would never have got back the extra 
cost.

On a different level, at Roanoke last July there was a specially painted 
bright yellow hopper car celebrating Pier 6. I understand that it is 
available as a N scale model.  What are the prospects of one, or a way of 
creating one, in HO scale??
