<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So all of those (with the caveats you mentioned)
are prototypical for late steam era N&W? Excellent, that's a better
selection than I thought. Thank you very much, that's some very useful
info.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is my first post to the list, and
I'm certain this question has been asked before, probably many times.
However I have not seen an answer to it online, and as such I'm asking
here, since I figure it's unlikely there's a group more knowlegable on
the subject.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My question is, can anyone give me a
list, or even just a few recomendations, of decently prototypically
accurate HO scale models of late steam era N&W freight cars,
preferably plastic kits, or RTR plastic, though craftsman kits are
fine if there's no decent plastic alternative. I want to put togather
a couple of N&W freight trains, one general freight, one a coal
drag, and I need to know what reasonably priced options there are out
there. I know almost nothing about what's available in the way of
decently accurate models, asside from the bowser fishbelly 55
ton and the BLI H2a.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any and all information you can give me,
be it information on specific models, or a link to somewhere I can
find this information, will be greatly appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
