State Tool & Die has announced and is selling at the show, a pre-painted & lettered 3D print of the Southern 40' Berwick Radio Control Car. Comes in the large Southern Billboard lettering for the 905XXX series and the post 1982 Claytor font, also in the 905XXX series. Modeler will have to add kit supplied ladders, firecracker antennae, and MU hoses. Car comes with 100-ton trucks and 33" metal wheel sets. Original Southern billboard lettering in the 95XX series, NS Speed lettering and other Southern lettered oddities will be offered in future runs.

The SOUTHERN lettering on the Claytor Scheme car looks kinda odd to me.

FANTASTIC news on the earlier phase NW-2! It only seemed a matter of time after their SWs and their late phase NW-2. Dang, there's a lot of possibilities there.

THANK YOU, Walthers and to the OP for sharing.

Among other versions, I'd be quite interested in some black UP (UP D.S. 1000-D.S.1014) and black GN (GN 5302-5323) NW2's--as originally done. Phase I, I believe.

Wait ... what are those C&O hoppers??? Proto? A standard design that might have been used by C&O, B&O, WM, RDG, and N&W?

Was anyone able to get additional information (manufacturer, roadnames & numbers, eta, etc.) on the C&O hoppers?

I was at the RPM. I'm almost sure those hoppers were just someone's models on display. The Walthers NW2 was set up on one of the attendee display tables, not a vendor area.

Just a reminder. Even troglodytes can use Facebook when it comes to manufacturers and companies. Those pages are open to the public to see. You don’t need a login. I don’t have one myself.

Just search on google for Facebook nameofcompany and enjoy the reading.
