[NW Modeling List]

Harold,

 

  If you would like to follow up with Athearn as Ed suggested I can provide you with a name and contact information.  Too, I’d be more than happy to assist.  Just contact me off list at arnett at nwhs.org   Thanks to all.

Amen Herold.........I know you did a lot of work with Athearn to provide them the needed details and information for producing proper, prototypes of N&W freight GP9's.   Perhaps there's a way to followup on where that info is and motivate Athearn to produce the models now?

While a number of us were blind sided by the Athearn announcement and delivery of the redbirds, I hope the quick sell out of the redbirds will show Athearn that there is a N&W market out there.  Over the years a number of attempts have been made to interest Athearn in producing N&W early diesels and we finally have a very good model of the passenger GP9s. Now we need models of the black and gold lettered freight GP9s.  Harold Davenport

Got totally blindsided by this topic. Athearn apparently announced it in February, but nothing here (or in TAF) until the 30th of June. Nothing in MR. Was lucky enough to order the last red one at Train World, a 521 I'll renumber.

Have enjoyed the discussion of the RS11 project, but in the midst I received my Athearn Genesis N&W Redbird #514. Simply beautiful. Have waited a long time for this model.
