i got mine today from RO but I'm not opening it 'til Christmas!
My PRR unit will be here Friday.
Anyone get the O&W one. I really want to hear it.

Finally, a video......THANKS!!!!!!
That PRR version sure looks nice. Is the hood transition/taper to the cab correct for that version? I remember that there were two versions of EMD NW2 models, one with the plain hood-to-cab taper (as shown in the model photos), then a different (later?) version with the hood-to-cab taper into a flat area, just before the cab. VERY nice looking model, anyway.
Looks great, mine is somewhere between Texas and and New York. Hopefully arriving mid. next week.
Looks like Lionel is doing the same cost saving method they used with the GP7/GP9 where as their model of the GP7 was not 100% correct(handrail stanchions for one) whereas the GP9 was a good recreation of an early GP9. The late model NW2 that Lionel is modeling was soon replaced by the SW7 and the SW9. Lionel will have to use a new cab without the domed front windows but its only third rail and Lionel at that.
Hey DJ - Thanks for taking the time to post pics/video
Looks really nice
