    Hello all,
    I am interested in modeling a streamlined train for my club's HO layout. Instead of going with the usual 20th Century or the Daylight, I'd like to do one of the NH's passengers trains using the I-5 Hudsons and the Osgood-Bradley lightweights. Can anyone supply me with info on train names, routes and especially consists.

    Thanks in Advance,
    Brian

    Welcome to Trainboard Brian!

    I'm surprised nobody has replied to this yet, unless it was b/c or private message.
    Most of the New Havens name trains ran between Boston and New York City.

    A few I know the names of are the "Yankee Clipper", "Merchant's Limited" and "The Owl" which was an overnight Pullman train. Sorry I cant give you the train numbers or consists.
    One of my foamer videos is a PR piece done in the early 40s for the NYNH & H. It was done by the "Jam Handy" Corp. and had the great Lowell Thomas as the narrator. It is one of the best informative archival videos I've ever seen. IIRC the name of the movie is "A Great Railroad at Work". Some great footage of those I5s working! Also of the Osgood-Bradley cars you are interested in.
