Subject: Stilwell Cars

Although I am in O scale, I am always interested in Stilwell cars, even in
HO;
I assume most Erie modellers know NWSL imported both original and revised HO
versions from Japan in the late 1960's or early 1970's, each with the
correct
trucks.  I had one when I was still in HO back then, painted it from photos
(almost exactly as described in the F&C article) and when a friend took it
to
shows to sell it, some know-it-all insisted it wasn't lettered correctly
(probably hoped to bargain the price down).  Stan Richmond of Car Works
brought in O scale coaches and combines (only originals, I believe) in the
late 1980's or early 1990's from Korea--I think also NYW&B-detailed versions
as well.  I have one of the coaches (very nice) but since F&C is starting to
issue some of their HO resin kits in O scale, I wonder if there might be
another one in my future?  The Erie rented them to shortlines for
excursions--I have prints of Stilwells in service on the Arcade and Attica
and
Bath and Hammondsport--and sold a number of them to the Susquehanna along
with
much other older equipment when the NYS&W went independent; one can readily
find photos of them behind RS-1's.
