<P>The USRA Light Pacific is a bit on the big side to represent a N&W E2, but if you want to go that way, why not us an IHC (Mehano) model, the later ones are great runners with RP25 wheels, and easy to convert to DCC.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>A closer starting point is the Bowser NYC K11 - which requires a bit of metal cutting. The K11, like the N&W E2 was made by Alco, and is very close in overall size.</P>

<DIV>Charlie, I was also looking forward to these cabooses, but I've never bought into the pre-order thing. So I guess indirectly I, and others like me, bear some responsibility. </DIV>

<DIV>Will that change my behavior? <SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.289062); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.222656); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.222656)">Probably not. </SPAN></DIV>

I hear they make good stuff, but as they keep cancelling everything I want, I may never know!</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In the meantime, grab an AMB CF kit - not a built-up, but not hard either. And more importantly, they're actually on the shelves! </DIV>

<DIV>For those that didn't understand the message I apologize, it should have said "Can anyone tell me if the N&W cabooses by Precision Craft <U>were</U> produced. I had 5 on order but Walthers says "sold out" and the place I ordered from told me discountinued. I would have thought these would have sold well since most talk I have heard seemed that people wanted them.</DIV>
