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

[NW Modeling List]

The older Proto 2000 GP9's have a number of prototype detail issues. These
models were very generic and were offered in various road names without any
railroad specific features added.These upcoming Walthers Proto models are
the first real attempt to offer a N&W freight GP9 in plastic. Yes, all N&W
ordered GP9's were delivered in black either F1 or F2 schemes. 600's
through 900's.
