There are at least two FW&D cars from Branchline available now. I saw them
this weekend at the Wheaton Greenberg show, and again yesterday (at Des
Plaines hobbies). I know the 12-1 and 10-1-2 are available.
The coach is the one car Branchline is doing (so far, the paired window
coach that they *will* be doing is the other) that is not an accurate paint
scheme for all cars painted in that line. It is a NYC prototype, but
other cars that are painted in that scheme are close. Coaches in the HW
era are a bit harder to "standardize". Again, the sleepers for a given
name will be the correct paint scheme, and the correct underbody details
(and the correct roof details for the correct A/C). There is usually a
prototype photo of the car when available on the web site.
