    We are working with manufacturers to encourage models of Nickel Plate protoypes in O scale. Initial possibilities are for structure and caboose kits.

    I received confirmation of startup design work for one structure kit in O of an NKP prototype. Will advise as possible.

    We have a number of O scalers who are members of the Nickel Plate Road Historical & Technical Society. However, I would like to hear from others who may wish to model more NKP and W&LE.

    Our Web sites are at nkphts.org and nickelplate.net

    I run models in various gauges from N to 3 (2 1/2 inch gauge scenic scale modeling as opposed to passenger hauling).

    I have a live steam 0 gauge pennsy 2-10-2 and a few box cars; I absolutely love the NKP it would be wonderful if one of those gorgeous W & LE cabs was available.

    However, I would not be interested in a kit, I only want r-t-r.

    I look forward to hearing more.

    There is quite a bit of O scale for sale under the heading "Interchange Point" on the Nickel Plate Historical Society Web site. The specific page is at:
    http://nkphts.org/interchange/index.html

    We have not yet considered doing RTR O Gauge, but anything's possible. I saw a very nice NKP bay window caboose in O at a train show, but do not note the manufacturer. I checked MTH and Lionel sites and did not find it as a current offering. Perhaps someone else can help.
