Crew, Has the NE-12 ever been done in N-scale? I've never seen one. If not, what would it take to get a manufacturer to do so? Larry Owen In a message dated 6/30/2008 5:58:04 P.M. Central Daylight Ti

Did a search and found very old posts about possible models of them in the previous century, and newer posts seem to deal with just paint and color scheme issues. Where does a newly- born " Qfan " fi
Bachman has a plastic version that can be made up to look pretty good if you don't mind the roofwalk molded on. You can find them at train shows and swap meets pretty easily and I think they may stil
Pat, They are class NE-12. Nickel Plate did it in brass years ago, may show on ebay or through various store used brass. Caboose Hobbies has one now for $120. http://www.caboosehobbies.com/catalog/pr
