Andy, how ya doing? Hey the NW (your B&M decorated) switcher is General Models. Did General models become All Nation? The All Nation NW switcher I had looked to be the same model but in two rail scale.

Hello Pierre,

I’m doing well thanks. Hopefully the same for you. My understanding after reading the Keith Wills “American O scale 1927-1965” book is that the model was first made for General Models in 1948 and then All Nation purchased them after bankruptcy (along with many other lines). Thomas Industries made a conversation kit to make it 3 rail comparable. Since the kit sits on the bottom and is very clearly marked sometimes these list on eBay as Thomas Industries NW2s. Mine is 2 rail like yours but it needs some work because one wheel is slipping on the axel. At the moment it limps along. But I need to knurl that axel.
