BN, GM&O, and IC freight car decals
HO — Custom painters have four new decal sets from ICG Decals. Two of the sets are for use with General American 50-foot boxcars and present 1960s looks for Gulf, Mobile & Ohio and Il- linois Central. Another GM&O set will letter a 42-foot gondola as done by the railroad in the late 1960s. The fourth new set features early Burlington
Northern lettering and heralds for use on Airslide covered hopper models. Each set will provide lettering, her-
alds, and data to complete one model. Prices range between $6 and $7 for these sets listed. Photos and prototype information to aid in the creation of these models is found on ICG Decals’ website.

Mantua Classics 2-6-6-2 from MRC
Broadway Limited Great Northern S2-class 4-8-4
HO — Now in production and set for fall delivery, Broadway Limited Im- ports will present a brass-hybrid con- struction 4-8-4 steam locomotive and tender reproducing the design used by Baldwin in 1930 to make Great Northern’s S2-class examples. These 14 Northern-type steam locomotives, numbered 2575–2588, served on the railroad’s Montana and Spokane divisions. Broadway Limited’s effort will feature handcrafted brass boiler, cab, pilot, and tender with die-cast metal chassis and underframe. The company’s Para-
gon 2 electronics will deliver DCC con- trol, sound, and synchronized puffing smoke for this 4-8-4 steam locomotive. Select driving wheels will be fitted with traction tires to generate enhanced pulling power. The model promises to navigate 22-inch radius curves and will retail for $699.99. Fully assembled, the manufacturer will produce its new HO-scale Great Northern S2-class 4-8- 4 in open- and vestibule-cab versions. Great Northern examples will include a Glacier Green boiler jacket. Broad- way Limited will also offer unlettered models in both cab versions.

HO — A limited number of Centu- ry Green 40-foot sliding-door box- car kits are available from New York Central System Historical So- ciety (NYCSHS). The car is Accurail- made, and the car’s numbering and decoration follow the appearance of a 1959 repainting that presented a large “cigar band” herald on the car sides. New York Central’s Des- patch Shops built the prototype in 1949 (168000–168999). The model was this year’s convention car for NYCSHS, and its road numbers are exclusive to this release; the mod- el is also part of Accurail’s line in New York Central colors and letter- ing. Check the NYCSHS website for this special HO-scale boxcar kit and many other products available from the society’s company store.
