A knock on the door today brought me the Nickel Plate trio I ordered last week. Here are the pictures:
They are beautiful little...might I even say, tiny...models, just as detailed as the N scale offerings, far outshining the Marklins that I had been buying as donors for Nn3. I had made this purchase with the nefarious scheme of converting one, maybe both, locomotives into Nn3 locos but the Geep is a bit too short to be used for the M1 and, as can be seen in the following photo, the Mikado drivers are too small to be used for an EBT locomotive although it may be suitable for another prototype.
Besides, they are just too nice to be cut up as donors, so it looks like I may be building a small freight type layout in Z scale instead.
