I brought this thread back to remind everybody that these models are still available for realtively good proce (likely lower than any subsequent runs by Atlas).  Get yours while you can - these are really nice models!

Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away

What road names would you like to see?  I am trying to put together a list with photo confirmation of all of the railroads that used 1992-98 Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks.
A short list.
NSMR #1975, RMR #4

I did some research on P&W Ford utility trucks here:

https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=46411.msg606837#msg606837

In addition I found these:
http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=387184
http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=844533
http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=402677
http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=220817

So P&W would have used both the utility body AND crew cab body in both red and white schemes. If Atlas makes a hi-rail kit for these, then that would cover almost the entire Providence and Worcester fleet.

RPS is holding a sale on their remaining inventory. I received the following email:

Dear Friend and fellow RPS Enthusiast,

At this time of year, many of us are focused on the great outdoors. Whether it’s relaxing at the beach, hiking in the mountains, or camping in the woods, summer is all about fresh air. However, it’s also a goodtime to kick back and start planning for your modeling efforts once the sun sinks lower toward the horizon later in the year.

To entice you, right now RPS-Vehicles is offering a 25%discount from our already low prices, on all orders of $50.00 or more of product. Your discount will be calculated automatically when you check out at RPS-Vehicles.

At this time we’d like to thank you for your past business, and we look forward to receiving your always valued order soon.

Have a great summer!

Doug and Beth

Good time to buy these!  We all know that if you want some N scale product that is available, buy it *NOW* as it might never be available again (or will take years for the new company to produce another batch).
