Weekend Photo Fun 1/15/16 HONGZ

Here are three generations of Conrail EMD power in N scale. SW1200 9342 was built as the Pennsylvania Railroad 7923 in 1957. It was subsequently renumbered to 9023 leading up to the Penn Central merger and carried that same number with PC. SD35 6045 was delivered to the Central Railroad of New Jersey as that road's 2506 in 1965. SD60M 5555 was built new for Conrail in 1993.

The SW1200 is a Life-Like model while the SD35 and SD60M are from Atlas. Note the SW1200 and SD60M were released before knuckle couplers became standard on new releases in N scale. My shop hasn't gotten around to changing them yet.

Jonny:

More information on the PRR car in the second picture please?

Thanks,

Bob

Bob,

I just purchased this Micro-trains freight car used. It shows "Assigned to Jersey City ICE CAR. There is a number on the box which is 59040 and RD# 498350. The discription on the box states 40' steel side ice reefer.

One thing that I noticed right away about this car is that the trucks and couplers are all brown and not the common black that are on most of my Micro-trains cars.

Atlas released a similar car in O. This model isn't mine; I found it listed on that auction site.
