Bored with steam

[NW Modeling List]

Harold: I just received my Sunset EL2bs today. As you said an excellent model.
As for the ) scale N&W K2s the problem was the drivers were totally incorrect making it a bad model.

Jimmy: The Sunset O scale Ms according to Scott as most ordered the Strasburg version.

I am never bored with N&W and VGN steam. However, I do get bored with incorrect junk models posing as N&W or VGN steam. The NWHS has been trying to get a manufacturer to make a good M model in HO in plastic for several years but with no luck so far. For VGN modelers in "O" scale Sunset has just imported the EL2b electrics which are beautiful with correct lettering and paint color. Sunset purchased over $700.00 worth of VGN drawings from the NWHS Archive and the results show what can be produced when importers and manufacturers work together with the NWHS.  Harold Davenport

     Unfortunately, the “Big
 Manufacturers”
         haven’t done the M class.  It would be a GREAT  loco as it could
         be modeled as built, or later with a larger tender,  and
         different pilots, and finally in Strasburg paint.  The BEST PART
         is that those can be run on smaller layouts.  Sometimes the
         manufacturers are just missing the  point.
         A few years ago was a good year to be in O  scale! Scott Mann
       came through on his father's promise to do the M  class. Big
       tender, little tender and Strasburg.
