    Now that I've got my D&H Model collection online I thought I would share a few images. If you also have D&H in your collection I would like to obtain images and information for my web site so I can document all the D&H ever built. If you scratch build D&H let's see those images too!

    Those Sharks look really nice. I have always liked the blue "Warbonnet" scheme. What did the D&H call it? "Blue Bonnet?" [​IMG] :eek:

    Speaking of these units, what ever happened to the prototype ones? Still up in Michigan? Same owner? Sure would be fantastic to see them run again!

    :D

    [​IMG] [​IMG] I don't recall right now where they are currently. Now here is a N-Scale MFG you don't see much talk of that created a D&H model.

    I'd be interested in a status update on those Sharks. Maybe one of your D&H friends will know.

    Here is my entire N scale accumulation of D&H rolling stock. These folks make some fine quality cars. Etched brass stirrups and roof walk. Excellent graphics: [​IMG]

    I don't have that one in my collection. Get me some detail and I will add it into the DHVM list of D&H models.

    Will do on the Sharks! This is what I currently know about them.

    Darren-

    The car pictured was part of a two pack made by DeLuxe Innovations. (An N scale only manufacturer located in California.) It was released circa 1999-2000. Two Pack part number was 14100-2. The one cars as pictured. A second had the large shield type herald. Don't know a reporting number, as I did not buy it. You could also buy a single car, which was #14100-1. But I don't know which car came as that issue.

    There is also currently available, another DI made D&H car! It's number is 14270-1 for a single, 14270-2 for the two pack. Two reporting numbers of the small round "Bridge Line" herald. MSRP $28.70.

    Thanks, I will get this added to my list with the DHVM soon as I hope to document all the D&H models produced with images of them. I have some in my collection that never truly existed in real life but will make nice addtions to a layout some day when I get the time and space to get back to modeling.

    If pictures of DI products would help, there is the one I just posted. And their web site usually has quite a few views as well. So also try checking there:

    If a person wants to do some accurate D&H passenger cars, now would be the time to be buying up some etched brass sides from NKP Car. The C&O coach, diner and lunch counter - lounge are all fairly accurate for the D&H, as is the baggage and baggage - mail. To learn more you can email them at bnsf739@aol.com.

    Also, Lazer Horizons has lazer cut styrene sides for the former Lackawanna 62-seat coaches, like what the D&H ran in the 70s. You can learn more about these sides by visiting the Desktop Solutions of Pennsylvania site, via the link below:

    I've saw someone at GATS many many years ago that did a wonderful job at being 100% pure.

    Con-Cor has made to Passenger Sets that are nice but not 100% pure for those what to be 100% pure.

    Here is one from those sets that never existed but still a nice looking car that will have it's place on my layout; whenever I get back to modeling that is.

    Kato made a D&H RS-2

    I think Atlas made a D&H 90-ton hopper (yellow)

    Micro-Trains made a D&H 50' standard boxcar (BC red)

    Sorry, I don't have pictures

    MT made a 50' gondola in D&H. I believe I have one in my group. I could dig it out if you would like a photo. Of course, Atlas did the RS-3 in solid blue. I believe back in the eighties they had a limited run of blue-gray D&H units. They recently did an RS-3 with the black with yellow stripes in HO. Hope to see those in N. Frank
