any New Haven fans ....

Mr Muffins has is doing a custom run of Lionel Legacy orange New Haven FAs. A color scheme not often run in the O-scale market. Hopefully this run gets enough pre-orders to be produced. https://mrmuffinstrains.com/pr...=1294ca840&_ss=r

Here is the Lionel #6468-25 Configuration A from 1956-1958 double door box car.

After all those locomotives, I think we need to remember that the NH had rolling stock too !

Best wishes everyone

Very nice, Don. My brother’s first and only train included the 6468-25. I inherited the car since my brother is the Gomez Addams of the family In addition, I inherited my Aunt’s trains when she passed (they were supposedly my cousin’s, but he just got to watch them run ) which included a 6464-425.

Some additions for me in the New Haven realm.

To be fair, the top car may not be totally new, just new to this thread.  I've since swapped out the chassis with a two rail one so that it goes with the other four I have in this scheme.

Was always wanting this paint scheme to go with my FL9s and was lucky to pick up four recently. 

I have another four GGD heavyweight coaches in New Haven that I have not photographed that are in two rail.   I also just recently purchased the GGD observation, diner, and head end set from this forum.  They are three rail but will be converted to two rail.  I have lots of donors in other road names I want in three rail.  Confused?  So am I!

Williams PA AA power in McGinnis livery with Williams streamline passenger cars. I also have the PB; but with a short train it would be overkill.

@Apples55 “In addition, I inherited my Aunt’s trains when she passed (they were supposedly my cousin’s, but he just got to watch them run” . Paul it sounds like your Aunt was a real life Joe McDoakes😂

Just got done servicing K-Line #377 and took it for a spin. Great running engines K-Line made.

The K-Line EP5s were really sharp.  I've got a Great Northern, thanks to the K-Line Collectors Club.

@Apples55- Thanks for the compliment Paul.  I have not yet been able to acquire a 6464 version of the NH (at least not at a price I was willing to pay) but that is a handsome car.

New Haven Alco RS-3 #527 is a Railking model (30-2897-1) of a classic first generation diesel in its original orange and dark green paint scheme as delivered to the New Haven Railroad in 1950. Shown pulling three New Haven boxcars and caboose C-667 on my 10’-by-5’ layout. Boxcars prototypical with script heralds.

Yes, always been a big NH fan...wish I had more NH on the layout.  My grandfather put in 40 years at the NH and introduced me to the real ones at a very young age...great memories for sure...

I acquired a 4 coach set of GGD New Haven heavyweights that arrived today with the intention of re-lettering them 'PULLMAN' to run with a couple of Hudsons. They are so pretty and to my surprise they have 4 wheel trucks. Jonathan (GG1 4877)gave me a good explanation as to why some cars have 4 and others have the handsome 6 wheel trucks to carry more weight as found in sleepers and diners.

Remembering that I have a K-Line scale EP5 and caboose, I pulled them and will run them with the 4 coaches and probably a REA Reefer for a high speed NH passenger train.

csam, I have that EP-5 and that is one great running engine!

I sure hope there are enough pre-orders so Mr Muffinas can get the NH FAs in the early orange and green scheme made.
