HO Diesels

The Nickel Plate Road Historical & Technical Society

The June 2000 issue of Model Railroader, pages 80-82, lists an "HO Diesel Roundup" list of models available from all of the various manufacturers, except brass. In case you wondered which ones the Nickel Plate Road had, here they are.

Modifications will be needed to make a "correct" Nickel Plate Road model. See list of NKProduct Reviews, which have appeared in the Society Magazines, elsewhere on this site.

Actually, very few of these models have had reviews in our magazine. Members are encouraged to submit their personal evaluation and/or how they modified them to be more like NKP. See Publications Info elsewhere on this site.

For more information regarding Nickel Plate Diesels, order the Diesel Roster Book and Kevin Holland's Book through your Society's Company Store here.
