Bored with steam

[NW Modeling List]

Harold Thanks to all NWHS members who helped Sunset with the VGN EL2B project. The engines are terrific. I did not know that VIRGINIAN appeared only on the right side and the only the left side of each unit had the "button". The project went very fast from start to actual production and in the hands of buyers. Now we need battleship gons (sorry Frank....no I'm not) to go behind them. Yes, I know about Rich's gons of a few years back.Its tough nowadays to get a manufacturer to make specific models other than the biggies. Ask NYC fans. Jim Kehn   -----Original Message-----

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.
