I just received these today. I didn't realize Nicholas Smith was doing an exclusive run on these until I happen to be looking for something on his website. He has this offered as an A-A with Super Bass and powered B unit add on. He also did a run on READING Alco's in the same configuration. I confirmed with Nicholas Smith and there was only 30 of the A-A made and 25 of each B-unit made.
Anyway, here's some photos. The finish is similar to the Alco PA's with simulated stainless steel. Enjoy!

Looks great! Are these sized like the PW Alco FA-2s (10-11") or closer to scale size?
I went to the web site and could not find them. They must be sold out.
If I had to guess, I'd say they are scale. Wish the Milwaukee Road had them, then I could buy some. Don

Don't worry. Santa Fe didn't have FA's either.

That's never stopped any manufacturer, either with product or slightly off paint schemes 
These are absolutely beautiful engines!! Love them
Anyone buy the Reading's?
Beautiful! I didn't even know they made these.
They are beautiful.
Now, I wonder if the FA’s will have electronic Alzheimer’s like the PA’s. (forgetting their engine addresses)
