HO SCALE MODELS OF THE NICKEL PLATE ROAD by William C. Quick

MEMBER
NMRA, NIAGARA FRONTIER REGION, INTERNATIONAL DIVISION
NICKEL PLATE ROAD HISTORICAL AND TECHNICAL SOCIETY
WESTERN NEW YORK RAILWAY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

The following list, while by no means complete, includes those items from the prototypically correct to those that were merely lettered for the Nickel Plate Road. These models are ones that I am aware of through lengthy research and that I have seen at various hobby shops, train shows, swap meets, NMRA local, regional and national conventions and various railroad historical societies meetings in the United States. Many are readily available, yet others are rare, out of production models. Therefore, the price you pay for a model will not only be determined by its condition, but by its accuracy and availability. As you look for any of these models, keep an open mind as well as an open eye. Good luck, and remember that the (re)search is often as much fun as the finding. This list will be updated as needed, including any models you can document. If you have any of the information where it says (need info), please contact Mr. Quick at:

Some information also provided by Bill Godby, Ray Breyer, and Matt Cooper (Rivarossi 700's).

This is a collector's check-list and is not intended to be an endorsement of accuracy by the NKPHTS.

Key

Several Models decorated NKP that are not prototypes may not be listed (e.g. Athearn Alco PB-1).

NOTE* Model box cars 16520, 16538, and 16589, with the High Speed Service banner (as used on NKP cabooses) are fun, but not prototypically correct. There is information that indicates the railroad painted at least one side of one box car like the cabooses to see how it looked, and evaluate how practical it was to apply. Inferences are that it was probably too expensive.
