It is a fantasy scheme. But still looks nice. If only NP had actually owned some of these..... Boxcab E50
Looks very nice. {opinion}The Alco PA-1 was the one locomotive that could be described as 'sexy'. The most beautiful lines ever on a diesel are on the PA-1. {/opinion}
Well, for a diesel, believe I'd agree. But if an electric, it's gotta be the Milw O/M/B painted Little Joe! BTW- American Flyer also did an NCL in their S tinplate. With a PA styled engine. Very collectible. Boxcab E50
Thus my personal inspiration for doing these Kato n-scale PA's in NCL. I had American Flyer as a kid. Couldn't afford the PA's though; but sure fell in love with the NP scheme. :shade:
I also had AF, and Lionel as a youth. Was later a member of TCA, TTOS. Couldn't afford those AF NP PA then. Still can't. I knew a fellow who had about a half dozen complete sets in his collection. Displayed on a wall. Spectacular! Of course, at that time, he was also the most prominent AF collector in the world. Boxcab E50
