Re: (erielack) Life-Like Erie PA's in black/yellow

Chris,

The Life-Like N version of the PA-1 has already been announced and should be
availble by now.  Check their homepage.

I couldn't agree more on the FM Trainmaster.  SP also used these in their
"Black Widow" days.  This is a model that has been overlooked in N-gage.  I
also like the SD-45 and SPD-45.

I seem to remember a picture of a black & yellow EL Traninmaster transition
paint scheme.  I wish some manufacturer would paint that one.
