i was wondering would anybody happen to know if anybody is goin to produce an ho scale model of the new ES 40 and ES 44 DC locomotives? i would like to start adding them to my layout

this does help thank you very much you say that "huberts" is goin to produce them soon? i will be sure to check in on that. i dont understand why nobody ever produced them.

yes that is correct this is the car i have been talking about i have been looking for them in ho scale but cant seem to find anyone who makes the car or produces a car similiar to it. i would like to find a way to model them though i currently have the 100 ton silver series hopper and the athearn ho 5 pack of the coalporters but i would like to find the top gons if possible or find a car similiar that would look closely the same as the top gon.

yes it is it was built back when NS was first taking delivery of the "new" dash 8-40 b locomotives and it was designed on the pocohontas division in west virginia it is a rotary dumping hopper but it doesnt have a bathtub belly it has just a normal flat bottom. NS still runs the car but yes it is a diesel era car it is was around the early 80s that it was first came about.

are you familiar with norfolk southern railroad? it was a car that they built in their virginia car shops and they were built from scrap car parts basically a kitbashed car

could any body tell me who, if any body makes an ho scale model of norfolk southern's top gon coal hoppers? if so please let me know i have been searching everywhere and have not come up with any thing.
