Thank you, Ken. I was aware of the R1 when it came out. Unfortunately, it
was a far cry from the R5 and not really of interest to me. I think you're
right. These engines were never produced except by scratch builders. I'm
surprised. They would have been great on most Q-modeler's pikes.

I checked the most recent version that I have (2009) of Dan Glasure's Brass
Model Trains Price & Data Guide, and it doen't list either of these in
either HO scale or O scale. I would have to guess that neither has ever been
produced commercially. There is an HO scale R-1 2-6-2 listed that says it
was manufactured by Nickel Plate Products and imported by Models West (could
these be turned around?). It says there were 100 imported in 1984 and that
they were factory painted and had can motors. The MSRP is listed as $140,
and current value (as of 2009) was $300. I don't believe I've ever seen one
of these, but am just reporting what is listed in the book.
Best regards,

Subject: [CBQ] HO Brass -- P5 and R5
There are two icons missing from my collection -- both with pure
"Burlington" personalities --the R5 and the P5.
These boxy, unpretentious old locomotives were so uniquely Burlington that
no CB&Q collection could be considered complete without them, and yet I
have
never been able to find either one.
Does anyone know where I can find brass models of either or both of these
engines?
