Any chance this new shop can make extra steam line connections you could sell as parts?

We probably have some kicking around Jason; I'm in the office Tuesday and I'll see what's in the parts bin.... PM me with how many you're looking for and I'll see what I can scare up for you; no charge...

(Now; there are some paint schemes I now would insist on getting a sample; NP being one of them due to the constant debate on NP green, even by NP experts themselves....LOL)


When in doubt, always reference the color drift cards that we have provided.  ;)

May I humbly request that, in a future run, you consider these cars in MOW schemes (if appropriate).

I don't have a use for one (I don't think), but if there happened to be one in CR MOW gray, or PC MOW yellow, well, I might just be quite tempted.

And it'd mean that I wouldn't have to start thinking about putting together a full OCS to make the purchase make sense.

Paint will match the previous N scale runs (don't hold me to HO colours, they sometimes are slightly different due to the time lag and two factories... The roof is cast on the baggage car - no Easy Peasy, therefore not need to remove it.... (I made the executive decision that we didn't need lights in the baggage express..... ) We don't have a pre production sample of the B&O; you never get a sample of every paint scheme; not practical or cost efficent, especially if you've done the paint scheme many times before. (Now; there are some paint schemes I now would insist on getting a sample; NP being one of them due to the constant debate on NP green, even by NP experts themselves....LOL)

I figured as much on the B&O didnt hurt to ask and hope!

Thanks @Puddington I'll patiently await for these at my LHS.

Next run, for sure..... about ten people have asked.

.... oh, we do... and then an esteemed member of the NP modelling community tells you that "this" is the actual target you should match, not that...... :D 8)

Happens quite often that members of one group disagree with not only each other, but their own published works..... makes our job fun..... :scared:
