N&W Caboose in HO

[NW Modeling List]

Tom, 
I believe many, many years ago, Gloor Craft produced a wood kit of the N&W Class CF in O Scale; they also produced it in HO scale.  These kits were pre-laser era; I believe Gloor Craft was the successor to Quality Craft Models.  These kits were challenging, but not impossible.

To coin a phrase, When it rains, it pours. This March has certainly favored N&W steam-era N-Scale modelers. 

AT LAST, N&W's CF caboose (wood side) is available, coming out as a laser-cut kit, American Model Builders' item AMB 552.  To view, go to Brooklyn Locomotive Works ( www.buynscale.com ).  Under "new update log", click Laser Kit, 26 March. 

On the same screen scroll down to 8 March, announcing Broadway Limited's N&W H2a 3-bay hopper , a long-awaited production, available in both 17" and 24" "N&W" car sides lettering (the latter for stenciling when cars were shopped / built 21 October 1952 through 1956.)  

The CF is sold as a single item, whereas the H2a is available in 6-packs only. 

I do not have the models in hand, but photos in the above references appear to show accurate work. 

To my knowledge, these are the first commercially-produced models of the two cars. 

If the Modeling Committee was involved in the birthing of these models, take a bow!
