O Gauge C&NW

I'll join in on this. Running at Chicagoland Lionel Railroad Club.

Michael, I’d like to see your photos, but at least on my iPad, they don’t appear. The screen says, “Image Not Found.” Best, Keith Levine

Here's some MPC Lionel.

Chicago Lionel Railroad Club 1996 offering.

My C&NW E-4 Hudson #4008 is an MTH Premier model (20-3034-1) with PS-1 that was marketed in 1999. MTH has made some exceptional, high-quality die-cast models.

MELGAR

Awesome pics. I can see I'm not alone!

I'm Burlington guy, (CB&Q) and although I do not have any CNW models, I have always thought that the paint scheme was very attractive. And the streamlined steam engines, especially the E4 Hudson, would be one that I would like to have.

I do have some CNW items, the attached print by  IAW Johnson that my dad got back in the late 1940's. Two tall globe lanterns, one with a wooden handle and the other with a twist off font.

Ray, That print is so cool !!  Jealous.

Missing an image of the H1 (4-8-4) from Sunset, but here is my small sampling of CNW.

Same as Melgar's above with blackened drivers and upgraded to TMCC.

Very little (none) CNW passenger equipment is available so we have make it ourselves. This car was part of a special run of GGD painted to CNW by JD's (now out of business). The four car set was all coaches so I made this tail end car by adding markers and Tomar drumhead.

CNW E6 from Sunset's latest run. It looks like I will have to make my own passenger consist from 401 Models. Just have not had time (or money) to start this project. It is an AA unit. The Illinois Central is a Lionel AA, also from the last E6 run.

Funny you mention.  I just pulled the trigger on a huge order with Eddy!! Thanks for the contact info.

Thrilled at the prospect of super accurate CNW passenger cars for my Yellow Jacket (Minnesota 400) and extra cars (for a Twin Cities 400) in case Scott does a 2nd E6 run in the future.

Scheduling the project budget now and also working to locate enough Atlas 7071 2R trucks.  (Yikes! $$$ custom hand made aluminum passenger cars).

He is a super cool guy.  Total CNW nut.

Fantastic news Will. I will move forward with 401 models as well, just not right now. So happy guys like Eddy are still willing to make custom items for us.

Good luck with the build and keep us posted.

I like C&NW so here are some pictures. AC4400CW, Dash9, Dash8, SD60 plus some cars and a caboose

Looks like several of us took the bait when MTH made these. Mine is also a PS -1 locomotive.

Also have the complete 7 car matching passenger train?

My near latest addition,  a Weaver ALCO C-628 #6701, just a few days ago I got its twin brother, #6700.

Have 9, maybe 10 CNW locomotives total.

Lionel's FM H10-44, diecast frame and body, weighs a ton, TMCC equipped,  Pullmor motor.

Well, it's time to admit I have a sickness.  Not only am I infected with the U.P.  but it seems I have a fever for the C&NW too.

Yellow fever.

I married a gal that loves the green and gold, our son followed her footsteps. His first train his grandpa bought him for Christmas  was a CNW GP-7, 35 years ago, still have it and have been adding to the roster since then. (I'm a Blue and Orange guy myself. )

Always liked the early paint scheme

Me too, the post war paint schemes had class.

Some of my CNW engines
