I've heard that there may be a triplex in the future and the two names I've heard are Bachmann and Atlas. Though NKP never had a triplex I may be tempted to purchase one.

I started weathering my engines and rolling stock about eight months ago. Now I would like to add streaks of rust. Anyone have any ideas on how this is done?

After I joined an HO club last August I had to decide what railroad I wanted to purchase. I choose NKP because its engine roster is small and wouldn't put me in the poor house. I currently have 2 berks, 1 heavy mike, 1 2-6-6-2 which I just bought,2 GP-7s, a C420 on order and an Erie trainmater in the Erie paint scheme that NKP leased. I'm considering buying 2GP-30s. That will leave only a mountain that I won't that NKP had on its roster. I know NKP had a lot of smaller steamers,but I'm not interested in them. At first I purchased a lot of NKP rolling stock but now have spread out and added other roads. Another reason I choose NKP is that nobody in the club operates this railroad. Most of the members are into PRR, Reading, Western Maryland, New Haven, CNJ, and other eastern railroads altough a couple run western roads like Santa Fe and Union Pacific.
