AZL RI cabooses match up with the MTL F's and GP 9. Have to agree with you on D&H. I could see 1 locomotive release, but 3 ? (RS-3, SD 45, GP38-2). I bet in the entire world there's maybe 10 modelers into D&H. Other neglected roads by AZL are ERIE / EL and NW. Honestly I would buy 2 or 3 of the D&H SD45s today if I could get a nice caboose to go along with them. I have teased Rob K. that maybe I'll run them with a NW caboose  . I wanted to insert an image here, but it won't take:imagestorage.nerail.org/photos/2018/12/07/2018120722094624101.jpg If you are lucky you can find an animek model kit and made one , I made this one ( picture ) even if it never exist  |

Probably somebody more skillful than I could probably repaint the AZL L & N caboose:  |

I know I’ve suggested this before here, but why repaint? Going from the red L&N to DH it seems all you need are a couple of decals: one to replace the L&N, one to replace the road number with the herald and maybe one to replace the panel under the bay window. There are several good broadside images on rr picture archive, some which don’t include “radio”on the cupola panel, that could be used as a basis for decals. There are several good decal makers out there. Just leave a wide area of red field so you can cut in the decal at an appropriate seam.

But even this might exceed my craft abilities (which are nonexistent - I mean that literally. There is a reason why my layout is track on a table.) |

Think we will stay clear of, yes "Bankruptcy Blue" Even if it's a car that spans SIX decades and still exists?  (and btw, a car type done by AZL...)  |

We will most likely produce units that can run with our upcoming Golden State streamliner sets.

It looks very nice, but is it $150 nice? Ever tried painting and lettering a Z scale locomotive? |
