[NW Modeling List]

I am too, compare to the ancient Rivarossi, the IHC repackaging, the Pullman Project Branchline and the Walthers?

How about the 12-1, I'm curious.

Thanks Jim.  Another set of cars I won't purchase, just like the Bachman smooth sides just issued, they are not worth the money, especially these days.

 Walter, The diner is decorated for N&W class DE #1024.  On one side the window arrangement is close, but no cigar while the other side is completely wrong.  Also, the AC ducting is wrong. The coach is decorated for an N&W class Pg.  Jim Nichols did a very nice presentation on modeling this class of cars at last year's convention.  the number of windows is correct, but the lavatory windows and doors are wrong.  also the lower panels and riveting are incorrect. The baggage is decorated for an N&W class BEg.  In this case the model has two identical doors spaced nearer the ends of the car, whereas the BEg had a single door and a double door spaced nearer the car center. Whether these cars are "close enough" to be used as stand-ins is of course in the eye of the beholder, Jim Cochran     .

Has anyone looked at the newly announced heavyweights to determine if the Norfolk and Western actually had any of them or if they are just painted to look like real Norfolk and Western rolling stock?  All I can tell is at least the coach is not the popular paired window coach that was never owned by my favorite railroad.
