<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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>
