We meet on the phone about once a month to strategize about what to do to support NYC modeling for our members. The members of the committee are Dave Staplin, (Chair), Brian Marotta, Jeff English, Dave Mackay, Paul Pickard, Lawrence Faulkner, Manuel Duran-Duran, Kyle Coble, Dan Seligmann, Seth Lakin, Larry Grant, Ralph Schiring, Noel Widdifield, and Rich Stoving. We have released over 300 models at up to 20% off MSRP to our members and have sold more than 3,200 models and taken pre-orders for many more. We have offered several HO-scale, N-scale, and O-scale models and are in the process of finding more HO-, N-, S-, and even O–scale models to be released in coming months. Watch our website and Collinwood Shop online store for more information.

It has been a busy last few months, as we have been providing photos and drawings to several manufacturers for new models and decals they will be producing. One thing that makes this so much better to do than it ever has been is our photo and map website. If you haven’t heard about this, or checked out the website, you are in for a treat! https://n317.fmphost.com/fmi/webd#RR_Research-ValMaps I can’t say enough about what we now offer to everyone from our Archive Facility. The work that has been done to offer this information is beyond me imagination! Last I heard, there are somewhere around 36,000 images and maps. The nice thing is you can “surf” the photos to see what we have. There is also a finder function to assist, but it looks at the photo captions, which don’t exist on many photos, as we received them, caption-less. To say that this is a boon to all of those modeling the NYC is an understatement. Now, I have to qualify that everything the New York Central had isn’t in there. Please remember that our documentation came from quite a few individual donations (AKA as “dumpster diving”), we received nothing directly from the railroad. However, we still receive materials and continue to scan them into the database. Look for more on getting this done in the near future. All these items are for sale as high-quality PDF’s through the Society’s Collinwood Shop. Directions on how to do it are on our website, please scroll down to the instructions. If you have materials you’d like to donate, please contact me and I will let you know how we do it. We call these “Stand-in” models, as they are close to New York Central prototypes, have the flavor of the NYC, but are not true representations of particular prototypes. Overall, the perception is of the New York Central, hence they stand-in for NYC equipment.

I found out many years later that my grandfather Brueggeman did work for the NKP! We saw many diesels and some steam on the Central, but, my favorite memories have been of the few NKP trains we saw on those weekend days. Seems most NKP trains ran early morning or evening around Mentor when a little boy is home.

The GP35 was EMD’s sec- ond offering in what now is considered the second generation of diesel power. Over 1300 units were produced in a little over two years. Lessons learned from past Bproduction and advancing technology provided for a quantum leap forward in performance and operation. In addition, EMD with the production of the GP35 began the use of standard modular construction in the design of locomotive bodies. This standard locomotive of the 1960’s can still be seen in operation nearly four decades after it was first introduced. Athearn’s Ready-To-Run GP35 represents a phase 1a version that was produced from October 1963 to February 1964. This was arguably the most widely used variant of the GP35. Some of the spotting features of this phase captured on the model are: • Thick side sill • Triple louver sets on the battery box covers • Open top 36" radiator center fans • Flat bottom cab number board housing • Flat inertial air filter hatch • Low profile fuel tank • Multiple latches on the engine compartment doors This attention to detail and the unsurpassed value built into every Ready-To-Run™ locomotive, as well as all the additional incorporated features, makes them the first choice with model railroad operators.

  • A Spotter's Guide to Nickel Plate Road Mikados
    A SPOTTER’S GUIDE TO NICKEL PLATE ROAD MIKADOS By Ray Breyer Presented as a quick reference for modeling purposes (mainly), here’s a quick rundown of all the major NKP Mikado classes and what they looked like throughout their service careers. This is only a very basic, down & dirty guide to help modelers figure out which basic class of engine they want to model, and as a basic “quick reference” for casual fans of the NKP to identify 2-8-2 engine classes. As with all things steam, each engine quickly took on a personality and look of its own, so for modeling an individual engine, please refer to several photos of the same engine, or at least the same class of engine from the same time period. I’ll quickly note any models out there (if any) for each engine class as I know of them. I’m a little light in the area of brass knowledge, so there WILL be a few holes! I’ll organize the chapters by engine class. First up is the H-5a and H-5b class of Mikados, which predated the USRA and USRA “clone” Mikes that were more commonly known on the railroad. H-5a 500-509, 1917 The first Mikados owned by the Nickel Plate, these engines were a standard New York Central RR design, of which 676 were ultimately built for, or sold to, seventeen different railroads. Smaller than USRA light Mikes, they have a very “old” appearance. They were the largest, most powerful engines on the roster for just under a year, until the first batch of USRA 2-8-2s were delivered to the NKP in late 1918.
