As were the Milw Little Joes, these will be far beyond my budget. But, it would be nice to see them in N scale. Has anyone ever done a GN layout in N, under wire?

:D

Expensive? True ... but brass has never been "inexpensive." Also given the "uniqueness" of the model, brass is probably the only way the loco will ever be modeled, particularly in n-scale. So I've have ordered one .. to go with my L'il Joe.:cool6xb:

Not that I know .. but I do know there are some NCAT modelers that have done Milwaukee Road under wire.

True. But sadly it's still way beyond my budget. :cry:

Years ago, I had an 8 foot NCAT Milw module. As did Kirk Reddie. Mine is long gone. I don't recall what happened to his. Hal Riegger had his layout. Tom Savage also did some Milw on a layout. But I can't think of anyone doing GN seriously. Just a few of those Japanese prototype engines, brought in by Con-Cor, painted GN.

I saw in the latest issue of NSR that OMI has announced them officially and even what versions they are going to do.

I saw that, too...
