The photos and video below show my K-Line model (K2544-0412) of Metro-North Railroad 412, an EMD F-unit diesel, with two Atlas O Comet II coaches of the Connecticut Department of Transportation. The K-Line model was shown in the 2000 catalog at a list price of $309.95. The Comet II coaches were offered in 2008 at a price of $109.95. Although I can’t find evidence that Metro-North Commuter Railroad (MNCR) ever had a locomotive with road number 412, it did have road number 413, an FP10, in this color scheme, which ran on the branch line between Bridgeport and Waterbury around 2005 pulling a short train of Comet II coaches. Thus, the consist shown in the video is reasonably close to one which actually ran on Metro-North not too long ago. The K-Line model is an excellent runner and is doing about 55 scale miles per hour in the video.
