NP’s ‘Mainstreeter’ Observation

In stock

$74.00

 

Micro-Trains continues to struggle from the results of the Talent fires and staffing challenge caused by the Covid situation. This has delayed this release.  

It is planned for late 2023. Stay tuned here for updates!

Description

Produced by Micro-Trains, this heavyweight car is decorated in Northern Pacifics’  ‘Pine Tree’ paint scheme.

NP cars in this paint scheme lasted past the 1952  transition to the Loewy Two-Tone Green scheme. While many were painted into the new scheme, other Pine Tree cars were shifted to retirement and used in excursion service.

We have added this car to the North Coast Limited 1947 line, as it would both be prototypical (as it could have been run on that train) as well as a faster solution to an ‘observation’ for this train. The ’rounded end’  1947 NCL Observation is just farther down the track.

Just a quick note to acknowledge receipt of my AFT Tool Car. Thanks so much for another Outstanding Piece of Craftsmanship! The AFT is my most prized “N” Scale collection. I had perceived that there were delays in getting this last car into our hands, but thought it was a problem with China. Your letter…

I just received my Carolwood Pacific cars yesterday. They are exquisite! Every attention to detail was paid here, and I can’t thank you enough for putting this into production.  They are going to look amazing, circling my main Street miniatures display.

Just wanted to thank you again for the opportunity to be with you and the many other happy folks who experienced the Feather River Canyon trip.  I know you put a lot of work into making this special trip a reality and it all came together extremely well!
