Fwd: FW: Walthers February 2021 New Product announcements, order by 2/26

[NW Modeling List]

Good news from Walthers Proto.  They will be offering 4 different numbers
of of N&W freight GP9's in Pevler Blue.  766 and 767 will be offered with
Sound-DCC (ESU Loksound 5 Decoders) and 769 and 809 in DC only, DCC ready.
The picture with the passenger scheme frame stripe is incorrect.  I've
verified with Walthers that the units will not have the passenger scheme
yellow stripe and will adhere to N&W's Pevler Blue freight scheme.  The
absolute prototype accuracy of the units is still to be determined but they
without doubt will be the best plastic N&W freight GP9's offered to date.
You can see the various N&W specific features they have incorporated on the
models.  I recently purchased an Erie Lackawanna GP7 from this same series
of models and found it to be very accurate prototypically and operationally
excellent too.Pre-orders must be submitted by 2/28/21 with delivery
scheduled for 6/21.  There are numerous credible and reliable dealers you
can pre-order these locomotives through.  I ordered all 4 and will convert
the DC-DCC ready models to sound with ESU Loksound 5 decoders.
