According to http://www.urbaneagle.com/data/RRdieselchrono.html the GP40's were built from 11/1965 to 12/1971, 1,243 units. Note that this does not include GP40-2's, GP40X's, or anything like that.

The NE-6 caboose is an interesting choice. They came to the NKP when that road leased the W&LE in 1949, so that's another colour scheme they can legitimately be finished in. Wheeling fans - and I am one - can rejoice. The Chicago Great Western had cabooses that were very similiar. So there's scope for a kitbash, as well. I seem to recall one of the southern roads, the Seaboard perhaps, had something quite similar. Given the great number of high-quality, accurate and detailed freight cars that are now available to the transition-era modeller, it's good to see the production of cabooses to the same standard. The previous Atlas caboose is a lovely model, but a little too modern for my purposes. This new NE-6 will be ideal. > Anyone here? HELLO?...Hello?...hello?....

How dare you, sir! ;-) [....] > NEW PAINT SCHEMES & ROAD NUMBERS! > Atlas N 70 Ton Ore Car > http://www.atlasrr.com/NFreight/n70orecarnew1.htm Happy-happy, joy-joy, I'm collecting a unit train of these. Don't much care about the OL&B, but the CPR paint schemes (Pac-Man or script) would fit my area. -- Kizhé Don't overlook their offering in "O Gauge"! The quality of the O line is remarkable - the fact that the detail is excellent, the cars properly weighted, and the overall integrity of the cars is great. Their offerings and some of the newer Lionel and K-Line products are quite a change in 3-rail. > Just for kicks, I thought I'd start a model railroad related thread.
