RE: [CBQ] NE-12 Waycar Modeling

Scott,

The plastic model is indeed Bachmann's.   If you search in the "cheap" model 
boxes at train shows/swap meets, you can usually pick these up fpor a couple of 
bucks each.

Q Connection offers a Lasercut set of window glazing for these models and the 
Microscale decals.   http://www.qconnection.biz/Parts.htm#fwk-ne12

Railway Classics did a series of painted NE12's, but they were a fast sellout 
and are difficult ot find on the secondary market.  Look here to see what was 
offered. http://www.railwayclassics.com/cbq11.htm

  Subject: [CBQ] NE-12 Waycar Modeling


    

  I have been wondering for some time if there were any HO scale models ever 
made that can be used for the NE-12 and 12a waycar (with the sloped cupola).  I 
happened to pick up an old Tyco caboose this weekend at a train show, thinking 
I could perhaps cut the cupola off of it and mount it on an old Athearn or 
Roundhouse waycar, but then realized the NE-12 was all welded construction so 
didn't have all the rivets that are on both of these two models.  Of course, 
these can be removed with some effort, but worse, the number and/or location of 
the windows on both of these models aren't even close to those on the NE-12.  


  I'd swear that I had seen an article somewhere on modifying some plastic 
caboose model to achieve a model of the NE-12 waycar but I can't find that I 
have a copy of this.  Does anyone know of such an article, and if so, where a 
copy might be obtained?


  Lastly, was there ever a brass HO scale model  produced for an NE-12?


  Thanks in advance for any suggestions/leads.
