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

[NW Modeling List]

All of N&W freight GP9 locomotives were delivered in black.

The first order of passenger GP9s were also delivered in black, and were
repainted.

Note: the N&W  passenger GP9's had GP20 like fuel tank and air tanks (I
believe that the 1st order was modified at repainting to this, but Jim
Nichols should verify).
